Not reading articles and just commenting on the headline. It's extremely disappointing that habit carried over from reddit.
As someone who tries to read the articles a lot of them actually suck. They barely contain more info than the headline and hit you with an annoying pop-up or paywall.
I would not ever recommend reading any gaming related news article.
Highly recommend Firefox with uBlock origin, and there's an addon called bypass paywalls clean which does exactly what it says.
I think it's worse here b/c 90% of the articles I come across are paywalled, so I come to the comments to see if anyone posted the full text & I just see a bunch of comments about the headline.
I don't find that, but when I do you can often find the page on https://archive.today/ or https://web.archive.org/. You should be able to set it so that you can pass them a url from the address bar using your browser (e.g. Firefox's ~~quicksearches~~ smart keywords) or search engine (Bangs on DDG, Kagi, searx), if it's not already linked from the post text.
