I don’t want to read the thing. I want to discuss the thing that i didn’t read with other people who didn’t read the thing.

I think they should copy paste the entire article in text and just linkn it in case someone need to confirm. I just dont want to open a browser and deal with site too much hazzle besides you are aldready going through it anyway

Why would I risk my psyche, phone, and integrity going to a infested wild media web page, it’s like you think this is reddit and I’m a curious teen

1. modern websites are a pain to navigate with popups, paywall, ads, heavy tracking that slows down navigation, autoplaying video ads etc

2. modern journalism = let’s just report whatever the person or company says without fact checking, contextualizing or taking a stance. I believe this is done because it takes less effort and because it makes sure that the news org doesn’t anger any of the persons/organizations it has tides with (for ads or direct funding)

The comments solve both problems, as lemmy is ad- and tracking-free and the people in the comments are mostly real people usually without any vested interests in the things they’re discussing.

So OBVIOUSLY I only read the comments. I’ll get the content of the article indirectly as it’s being discussed.

Boy ain’t that the truth, I like his bulging eyeballs and rabid frantic posturing. That’s me, I’m all too guilty of doing the same.

I wanna report this post because i see myself in the picture.

No!! Lemmings don’t rush in water they live in holes🐭

Yeah guilty as charged

Sir, this is a meme.

Maybe give us a not paywalled link next time?

I want peoples opinions on what they read. I ain’t got time lol

I feel personally attacked

Tldr?

Not just here. Everywhere!

No one is here to discuss anything in good faith.
