Speak for yourself.

I'll often read the comments briefly first before deciding if I want to read an article.

I totally agree, I don't read the comments for an explicit summary. I read the comments to see what opinions people have of the article, on the basis of the comments I determine if the article is worth reading.

I don't do this for all articles, but it is a pretty common occurrence.
