>>46122763On reddit, the vast majority of people commenting on posts about a news article never actually read the article being discussed. Most people base their discussion purely off the headline and what other people in the comments are saying. It is a universal fact that the harder it is to do something on the internet, the more people drop off. On any platform you like, just look at the stats for any given piece of content, views will be highest, it requires only that you click on the post, likes will generally be second highest, it only requires one extra click on the like button, and comments will have the lowest number, requiring many key presses.
