I've noticed that top comments on HN are frequently meta (about the article's writing or author, not the article content) or flat-out disagree with it more often than on Slashdot. Readers here also tend to actually RTFA much more often before commenting.
- colmvp 14y agoI remember one recent popular link (can't remember which one) whose top comment was how the commenter couldn't view it in Opera.
- Evbn 14y agoSo HN commenters do RTFA but don't comment on TFA?
- chris_wot 14y agoThat's not necessarily a bad thing. If you read the article and have nothing to add, then best say nothing. Better than saying something about an article you haven't read, that's for sure.
