I’ve seen just the opposite. The top comment points out all sorts of problems with the article beyond just the headline.

Take this one on using nitrogen asphyxiation for the death penalty: https://midwest.social/post/7581080

I’m personally against the death penalty, but this article was garbage with garbage arguments. The top comments highlight why. Not only did people read the article, but they were also clear headed enough to point out all its flaws even when they are broadly on the same side as the authors.

Why would I read a long, padded, ad-riddled article when I can get a quick and accurate TL;DR in the title and expert commentary in the comments?

Welcome to the internet.

I want peoples opinions on what they read. I ain’t got time lol

Maybe give us a not paywalled link next time?
