For me its not about attention span, people come to see what others (with similar mindsets) think about something. Especially if I'm just casually browsing stuff and avoiding work. When there is an article that I am genuinely interested in, I'll read it entirely.
There was some blog post article about The Framework laptop yesterday. I never heard of this laptop. I honestly thought web framework for some reason. Anyhow I clicked into the post, scanned and realized it was an actual company. Opened a tab to go see what they had and then returned to the comments to see what others thought. I have no idea what the linked article's opinion was about it.
I can scan through hundreds of comments on HN and get a better idea about some topic/product much faster than just one person's thoughts.
