These threads are such a shit show. No one reads the article and then just has the conversation they want to have, other people who didn’t read the article think they’re summarizing it, and everyone walks away dumber.
Because why would I read an article that’s probably riddled with ads, when I could read a quick unbiased fact in the headline (edit: and an image) and get expert commentary in the comments (that often builds upon or refutes the article anyways)?

Online discourse tends to be like that
I read the article but it doesn’t say much that hasn’t been said a thousand times before.
Thread is a mess though I’ll agree on that.

Run an ad blocker. Firefox + uBlock origin does wonders.
Reading the article is a prerequisite to not being taken by disinformation.
Better off running a pihole, block at the network level.
Sadly I’m on an iPhone, though I do have one on my desktop.
I think adblock plus works on Safari on the iPhone.
adblockers have been a thing on iPhone for years, even I know that and I don’t have one. How are you this ignorant?
