It depends on your goals, and yes, I do agree that life is too short to read everything. But if you don't have the time to fully digest what's written, you also don't have the time to trash talk it, in my humble opinion. That's what I mean by "deciding if it's terrible or not," that is, I see a personal distinction between "did not pique my interest enough to bother" and "this is actively bad." You have to actually read the whole thing to make the latter determination, IMHO.

Well in all fairness, I might've kept reading had it not been for that blatant factual error.

Absolutely. But if you make that decision, why waste more time commenting on it? I don't mean this to be negative, just food for thought.

Generally I don't do this (go ahead, have yourself a google). But the error was so blatant that I just couldn't not say anything about it. In a sense the article baited me into it.
