Do you even read the article?
- keketi 1y agoAre you new? Nobody actually reads the articles.
- LorenDB 1y agoFalse. I almost never upvote an article without reading it, and half of those upvotes are because I already read something similar recently that gave me the same information.
- eszed 1y agoI'll submit in the second case (already read something similar) that, properly speaking, we should read both, and upvote (or submit, if not already here) the better of the articles. Not that, you know, I often take the time to do that, either - but it would improve the site and the discussions if we all did.
- jwilk 1y agoFrom the HN Guidelines <https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html>: > Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that".
- RandomBacon 1y agoThat guideline is decent I guess. I am disappointed that they edited another guideline for the worse: > Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading. It used to just say, don't complain about voting. If the number of votes are so taboo, why do they even show us the number or user karma (and have a top list)?
- RandomBacon 1y agoWe can't even talk about the guidelines?
