I read the TLDR bot at least…
Seems like that gives 90% of the relevant info, then I view the article if there’s anything missing.
Not that it makes a difference, my opinions are formed before I even read the title. I’m dug in, and I’ll never change 😎
I always read the top comment first, because often they have a better article or explain why the article is misleading
Yeah, I go top comment(s) to see if the article is not clickbait. Then I'll read the summary to see if it's any good. Then I'll go to the article itself if those check out.
But what if that comment is instead downvoted to death because it goes against the community opinions?
Then I look for a better community
Ssshhhh!
I generally do this because the articles are often behind paywalls.
The real truth!
'Cause we don't have to! 'Cause we're AMERICANS! We won't change our minds on anything, regardless of the facts that are set out before us.
Rock, flag, and eagle! Right, li10?
