    The biggest failure here is the number of people who obviously didn’t read the article. Why comment if you don’t know what you’re actually commenting about? Is this the writing equivalent to loving the sound of your own voice?

    Edit: I can’t believe my latest most controversial take is “maybe don’t discuss what an article says unless you read it first”. Just can’t make this shit up.

        That’s fine but, if you don’t read the article, don’t comment on it like you did. I’m not suggesting that’s what you did, but that’s clearly what many people here did.

        P.s. use 12ft.io and archive.ph to get around pay walls.

        If there’s a pay wall and you don’t use something like 12ft.io or archive.ph to get around it, just don’t comment. There’s no requirement to comment and those that do so without knowing what the article is actually about are providing commentary on their imaginations.
