I try not to comment on what I don’t know about, so I might write a general comment about the wider topic (known from the headline and picture) or respond to someone else about a peripheral point, or make a joke based on word associations.

Once in a while I might get something wrong but hopefully not more often than normal.

Sometimes I’ll comment first, and then read the article later if the article’s contents become germaine to the discussion.

That’s totally fair to ignore low effort comments! And I do get how they can be annoying. For me I try to make my corner of the internet a little more fun, but I definitely scroll and comment for the dopamine and don’t read every article. But I do try to contribute to the discussion in a positive way.

I think I’ll remember this conversation when I’m commenting in the future. ;)

Have a happy new year!
