Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

    It’s true, though. I am very guilty of it. I have gotten better at it but 100% of the time I’d click the comments first no matter what. If it seemed worthy of my attention I’d click the link. If it seemed too far-fetched I’d click the link.

    I’m realizing now that it’s mostly because I don’t want to wait the 0.5 seconds for another page to load (ridiculous on my part) and possibly deal with paywalls.

      Honestly, it is as much a condemnation of the websites writing the articles as it is a problem with users.

      A lot of news articles in particular are all fluff, no substance. Especially the ones later in the news cycle for any given news story can often be summarized by half a sentence and otherwise nothing new if you have been following the story.
