Why do brainlets pollute the comment sections of interesting videos with such asinine replies? Why do they feel obligated to signal their ignorance? It makes me irrationally angry. Instead of finding some novel or interesting commentary about the video you're faced with a wall of stupidity.

They feel better about their ignorance if others feel the same.
If everyone is like this then it must be normal and therefore ok right?

The worst part about it is that it encourages a culture where people are proud of their own ignorance and stupidity when it comes to technical subjects. "Haha I'm just not a math person" and all that. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Psychology major here, it's a defense mechanism. To illustrate it better, let me use a different well known example:

>Dude I didn't study for this test at all, haha
People do this so that if they fail it's known that they didn't study so they "can't be blamed" and they're "not stupid, they just didn't study"... but if they pass then they're "geniuses/lucky because they passed without studying". Essentially it creates a win-win scenario to dissociate them from the fact that they're idiots who didn't study.
