Asking in seriousness: did you comment without reading the link? If so, why? I legit don't understand why people comment on things without having read them, and I would like to

[OJFord]

I'm not who you asked, but sometimes the comments are more interesting (or perhaps intriguing, enticing, is a better way to put it) than the submission itself. Sometimes of those times my interest in the submission grows with reading some of the discussion, and then I'll read it.

(Not to say I always do this, but I do definitely click first into comments more often than I go straight for the article - it allows a much lower bar for what seems initially interesting, and I've read a lot more fascinating stuff (submissions and discussions) than I would have otherwise that way.)

Frist Psot culture is real: everyone else sees the “contribution”, and if it happens to be of marginal value, it earns karma.

Stochastic karma farming benefits from a larger N, hence posting without reading.
