    If you didn’t read the article, then don’t leave a top-level comment.

        Because you commented on the post directly rather than replying to another comment? Do you think top level means it got upvoted or something?

          ya I’d think “top level” would be more upvoted than most but I think there weren’t any other comments at the time

        Because you are responding to the post itself without reading the post. You have nothing to add if you’re fundamentally ignorant of what the source is. You may have something meaningful to add in response to another comment, but this is no different than saying "I didn’t watch this movie, but here’s what I think!’ or not doing the reading in a book club and just showing up to throw out random conjecture.

          Would be pretty sweet if more sites had the option to have stuff read aloud maybe then I could actually absorb the content but going in blind to a book club does sound kind of fun it could almost be a game show or something not sure if you should get extra points for successful gaslighting on the meaning or plot points

              Hey now I haven’t said anything nasty about you

              Though you do have a point that it could be more fun with other people in on it but competing with their own lies though that might need to take the form of trashy reality tv with a quiz show part attached where contestants get more points if someone uses their lie then again if you meta game it enough it could become almost like a prisoner’s dilemma where it’s better to score another player extra point than risk getting it wrong so no one gets points
