I'd argue it's not comparison at all, but envy. Comparison is a simple act and can be done between two things no one gives a damn about. It's the envy that you generate yourself that ruins joy.

I'd argue that pedantry on the internet is the REAL thief, here.

Pedantry is the main tool in my life-force theft kit

I think this is actually important to point out. Not pedantry at all. You can compare things without becoming envious.

I think we can all agree that pooberbee is the REALLY real thief of joy.
