Dan Luu on Nostr: I haven't read the comments but, in general, I haven't found lobsters comments to be ...
I haven't read the comments but, in general, I haven't found lobsters comments to be higher quality except that there are fewer.
I find it weird how many people think it's worth reading comments only. Something like 99% of comments are irrelevant or incorrect. We can quibble about the %-age and maybe it's 95% or w/e, but there's no way it's 50% or even 80%.
I do find comments useful to get an idea what people in a certain (very large) bubble are thinking, but only doing that seems low value.
