Yes, I thought that, I have a note in my sketch ideas: "Extract comments from HN", normally I value them more than the actual article.
They are important, like reviews.
- paki123 10y agoAre they important? I do it too, but it seems to just fuel my inability to get through boring and/or long articles. Sure they act as a filter at times, but sometimes I feel like I might be missing out on solid knowledge or something cool. Even if an article has a lot of positive reviews in it, it's a crapshoot whether I go and read the article at all.
- mod 10y agoGoing along with "reviews," in this era of blogspam, I like to read the comments first so I start out a skeptic, if I should be. Very often, the top comment for an article is a rebuttal, if there is some misinformation in an article, or perhaps a poorly-done study. Basically, people who are smarter than me usually get to tell me why the journalist is wrong.
