- selcuka 4y agoI don't care what the article says, nor will I read it, but I will defend to the death my right to comment on it.
- teawrecks 4y agoI don't article what the defend says, but I will read your comment to the death my right to care it.
- jonhohle 4y agoIn Soviet Russia, the article defends YOU!
- bilbo0s 4y agoI realize you intend it as a joke, but it's sad how much your quote sums up HN commentary. It hits uncomfortably close to home.
- lostlogin 4y agoIn fairness though, it’s frequent that I learn more from the comments than the article, even when I read the article.
- selcuka 4y ago> I learn more from the comments than the article Those comments must be the ones coming from those who actually read the article, or who are subject experts, though.
- TeMPOraL 4y agoWhy is it sad? It's a feature, not a bug - most of the articles aren't worth the time spent reading them, but they work as good discussion prompts. Comment section is where the value is.
- blisterpeanuts 4y agoI tend to check the comments first, in case the article is clickbait or a duplicate post. Usually, if the commentary is interesting, I’ll go read the article, then come back.
