It has become my habit too. I never click the links directly, always comments section first.

Does anyone else always feel a weird HN specific fomo - "comments or content... I want both!"

I don't. I always go straight for comments, unless I already recognize by the title or domain name that the article is something I'd like to read. Then I skim comments to learn whether the article is worth reading. Even if it isn't, if I want to participate in a thread that's about the article directly (vs. an interesting tangent), I go back and at least skim the article, just to not be that person who comments on TFA without reading it.
