Probably not the best idea. While they do tend to summarise well, comments tend to be filled with opinion - generally a better idea to ensure you form your own, rather than rely on a potentially biased third party.
- wnoise 9y agoThe original article is also generally biased and filled with opinion. At least the comments might have a diversity of bias.
- nikkwong 9y agoI also find that the discussions in certain comments/responses can tend to go largely off topic. When you're on mobile, instead of scrolling ALL the way down to the next parent comment, you (I, at least), tend to navigate away to other HN posts.
- just4themoney 9y agoHN has comment folding. Activate it by clicking the minus sign next to the "timestamp" to hide the comment and it's children.
- awkwarddaturtle 9y agoBut the article is a biased opinion of a single third party? It's better to rely on HN comments where the discussion is open rather than blindly accepting what a journalist writes.
