    Listen, we don’t read the article and we don’t watch the video before commenting. Maybe we’re reading the headline first. Maybe. This is the way and it has always been the way.

      To be fair, watching random YouTube videos can be demotivating. A transcript would be much nicer.

        Yeah, I definitely prefer to not read some text as compared to not watching a video. If it’s just someone talking, it should’ve been an article.

        I like to read until I hit a noun, then look to see what community this it was posted to, then kinda riff it from there.

        maybe read the headline and the comments, but only like 30% before i react. I guess 75% for the headline maybe.

      It’s also always been the way that the people who actually clicked the link get to come into the comments and be frustrated at us for being legitimately wrong.

      I agree it is that way currently, unfortunately, but it’s definitely a recent phenomenon (last 10y).
