Sometimes I don't even read the article, just open the comments and see what people have to say
and that's the worst of HN
often the author would prefer this discussion to be in THEIR comment section for once
Maybe, but I prefer a fast, consistent UI to quickly read about a topic and see if it is interesting. That is super fast here, but every site has a different comment section, so I have to a)look for it b) parse the different style c) parse whether all comments are just from spambot accounts

99% of the time I look at the comments and then if I find the discussion interesting will go to the original link.
To go directly to the link, it would have to be really compelling.
That is really their problem. Most users don't want to create separate accounts for each website they visit just to take part in a discussion.
Sometimes?

Sometimes I don't even read the comments and go straight to saying something.
I like the links on the new page and check out the new section from time to time, but in the end, I'm here for the discussion, seeing what other people think, and learning from the comments, so for me the new page isn't good as there is basically no comments there, no matter how great the links are on the new page.
