Differentiating the Nice Trolls from the Bad Trolls

I am very familiar with trolling because it occurs all the time because I grew up immersed into the online world. Although our class has been discussing trolling that threatens/labels other Internet users, the term has always been related to gaming and comments sections of YouTube and social media platforms. I've recognized trolling as an activity with the sole purpose to have fun, smile, and laugh by annoying another user. In video games, trolling is very common for the casual player because the goal of their playing experience isn't to achieve victory or success. Instead, these players do anything to make the game fun for them, including annoying seriously competitive gamers. The greatest emotional disturbance resulting from this type of trolling is annoyance; therefore, gaming-related trolling is usually harmless. Another site where I've witnessed trolling is on the YouTube comments section. The largest audience on YouTube are minors, and the commenters are often attention-seeking kids. These kids troll other users in order to annoy other users, using methods such as empty name-calling and schoolyard insults. Obviously, this type of trolling is also not a danger to Internet users.
The trolling that I am familiar with is not dangerous; however, there are ways to report the hurtful trolling. Vicious labels and threats can be prevented with reporting which notify the platform's workers who can remove/ban users. I have been trolled and have been a troll; however, I was a good troll. It was all for fun, nobody was hurt, and it generated smiles and laughs.
