Are you reading the article or straight to the comments?
i have to admit that I mostly (like 99%) of time go firdt to the comments before I even think about clicking to the article..
what about you?
- loons2 6y agoMost of the time I just read the article. When I do read comments, it's almost always after having read the article.
- gruglife 6y agoI skip to comments
- _Microft 6y agoOften, I'm checking the comments first to see whether reading the whole thing might be worth my time.
- dyingkneepad 6y agoI check the top comments first because a lot of times they make me realize the article is not worth reading. Sometimes the top comment is a one-line tl;dr, or just explains clickbait. This is even more important for any news regarding science: there's always a comment from someone who actually read the paper and then explains what the article got wrong.
- runjake 6y agoComments first on HN. I use shutup.css to hide comments on every other website.
- runawaybottle 6y agoComments before all.
- joehx2 6y agocomments first - for sites like this that link to the articles. gotta make sure it's worth it. on the site itself i read the article first
- qwerty456127 6y agoStraight to the comments. I would only read something if it's less than a screen-long and still contains something I'm going to find really valuable or exciting. If it's longer than that I am to be convinced it's a text of exceptional value and quality before I decide to invest my attention.
