Let's talk about clickbait and sources when posting
Clickbait:
I understand not wanting to “editorialize” the author’s title, and it’s even forbidden in some communities. That’s fine, just including something in the text, or possibly append it to the end in brackets.
Probably 90% of articles I come across can be summarized in 1-2 sentences. I often find myself doing just that, but putting it in the comments makes it far less visible.
Sources:
Please do not link your post to a source of a source. Sometimes I have to click 3 and 4 articles deep to find the original source. If you come across an article that links to another source, without adding meaningful context, just link to the original source, please.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

I wish I can upvote this 100 times.
I skip posts with articles that have 0 comments and wait for the smartiaian who will read the article and summarize the 2 sentences.

I like to browse by new, but that also means most things have no comments. Which sort do you usually use?

Top 12h. It gets boring sometimes though.
