I agree, they are! But reading through them, or even worse, engaging with them, is a serious energy drain. Especially if somebody is being wrong.

- lukan 2y agoYeah, but is your mission to correct anything wrong on the internet? https://xkcd.com/386/ https://xkcd.com/386/ Sounds exhausting.
- darthrupert 2y agoYes, that was the joke.
- lukan 2y agoHard to tell nowdays..
- rzzzt 2y agoOccasionally the article is wrong.
- j4coh 2y agoEven more occasionally commenters are too.
- Jensson 2y agoBut extremely rare for a popular wrong comment to not have sub comments debunking them, they are much more reliable than articles therefore.
- j4coh 2y agoI’ve found the more I know about the topic at hand, the more wildly many of the comments seem off base, even the highly upvoted undebunked ones. Its harder for me to judge topics I don’t know much about, but I have to assume it’s something similar.
- Jensson 2y agoThat is true for articles as well though, I find comments typically have better info than the articles. It is more likely for some of the comments to have been written by real experts than that the article is.
