I do something like this, but an important caveat is that I don't trust the comments' interpretation of the article, whether positive or negative - I don't assume that I get any accurate representation of the submission from the comments. I learn things from the tangential discussions that spring up from something the article mentions, but take the comments about the article itself with a grain of salt.
Although, I have to say that my click-through-to-article rate has increased significantly once I started to have Javascript disabled by default on my browser. The marginal cost of checking the link out goes down dramatically without the JS annoyances.
