    These threads are such a shit show. No one reads the article and then just has the conversation they want to have, other people who didn’t read the article think they’re summarizing it, and everyone walks away dumber.

      Because why would I read an article that’s probably riddled with ads, when I could read a quick unbiased fact in the headline (edit: and an image) and get expert commentary in the comments (that often builds upon or refutes the article anyways)?

        Run an ad blocker. Firefox + uBlock origin does wonders.

        Reading the article is a prerequisite to not being taken by disinformation.

      I read the article but it doesn’t say much that hasn’t been said a thousand times before.

      Thread is a mess though I’ll agree on that.
