I think it lets me know if the article is worth my time. I usually glance at the comment sections first because small titles often aren't enough to understand what the article is about.
- sbierwagen 5y agoSupporting this, I would say I'm reading the first couple comments on a submission far more often than reading the submission itself. It's not even close, probably three or four times more.
- HWR_14 5y agoIsn't that what the article's score is supposed to tell you?
- mattnewton 5y agoThat's another signal, yes. Lots of things are interesting or important to the HN community that I don't care about personally, and even if that weren't true I don't set aside enough time to read the whole front page every day.
