Yes or it will be the same rehashed HN talking points about Google/Facebook, why algo interviews suck, complaining about pay.
I wish the HN rules were a little less explicit about not being able to ask “Did you even read the article?”. I’ve seen some absolute garbage articles get to the front page and create a big discussion based solely on the title.
I try to always read the article before commenting but I do agree with other posters that for casual browsing I often skip the article because I don’t want to deal with web-bullshit in 2022, whereas HN loads fast and doesn’t ask me to sign up for a newsletter/enable notifications/read a bunch of SEO nonsense.
I wouldnt mind if HN used outbound links to track pageloads of links and use that to gate/affect ranking of comments and upvotes, but most people probably think that’s going too far.
