permitting one's interest in the post and/or topic to become the sole determining factor for participation.
An awful lot of people here are more interested in the comments than the articles per se. Plenty of people read the comments first and then decide if they want to read the article. Many people participate in discussion without ever reading the article. (There are both good ways and bad ways to do that.)
If you are relating to the site in a particular manner and not happy with it, I suggest you do a private experiment to try to find some new way to interact with the site.
If you want to "offer" people the chance to experience this, I suggest you code up something that lets people try this.
