Ask HN: Article Comment Addiction?
Very often when I&#x27;m reading an article on the Internet, I find that I can&#x27;t completely form my own opinion of the article until I&#x27;ve scrolled down and read the comments. Sometimes I might even jump to the comments before I&#x27;m finished with the article, to possibly confirm my skepticism with the article and then quickly move on. Other times, I will have seriously found solace in the article until I read the comments that ridicule and denounce it, and my opinion completely changes.<p>I see it as a sad trait of mine. I rely too much on the opinions of others to define my own beliefs. I wonder if there&#x27;s any reading material on this subject, but I&#x27;m also really curious what you guys think about this.
