I don’t agree. HN is the only site I go to where I go to the comments first before reading the article. I treat the comments like cliff notes and sometimes there are competing view points which adds to the fervor. I sometimes post links simply because I want to hear more context with discussion.

They're often the same competing viewpoints, though. Especially on easy to understand, divisive topics.
