&gt; 	I&#x27;m starting to just read the comments on HN and I don&#x27;t even look at articles anymore. I suppose this behaviour is similar to what I do on social media.<p>But this is pretty damaging, wouldn&#x27;t you say? Not too long ago, I would follow several consumer tech blogs, and jump right into the comments, because the stories were increasingly page-view driven garbage that needed 8 separate blog posts of ~200 words each to describe one story. The comments tended to provide much more insight than the actual &quot;article&quot;.<p>With HN, (which I&#x27;ve been visiting for &lt;2 years), I&#x27;m noticing that the articles posted tend to be long-form and generally thought-provoking. I make an effort to read the article, collect my thoughts on them, and only then view the comments.
