I think more often for better, at least for this forum. I read commentary first more probabalistically based on the hype-sensationalism character of the title. I dont subscribe to the hivemind theory, in almost every thread there is well-argued commentary falling on both sides of the issues presented.

I don't want to reward linkbait and hype. A pdf link on the efficient implementation of the radon transform or compiler theory is much more likely to get an unfiltered click from me.

I notice a trend here in HN, the first comment will most of the times be opposite to the article (this thread is just another example).
