If I don't understand an article or the significance of an article appearing on the first page, often the comments will highlight the thrust, a TL;DR if you prefer. Most of the time, I only turn to the comments when I feel the commentary would provide value. And I love the quality of the comments on HN compared to other social sites, you just know you're going to get a better quality of responses here than anywhere.
