If there's text in the body, I'll always read it.

Now a better question is if you asked us if we read the linked article before commenting lol.

It depends on how funny of a joke I can make from just the headline.

I read the title and the body but I usually don't click on any links unless they're really good. 

I'm always honest! Also I don't always finish reading the title.

I'd say it's 95/5... I usually read the whole post or skim read it at least before replying, but sometimes I'll start typing and realize the post was very different from what I thought it was halfway through my rant, so I just discard it before posting (a couple of times I didn't though).

Reading the title takes too long! I conduct a post vibes séance and respond based off that, namaste

I read the comments first to see if it's even worth it. Websites are hostile now, with coercive tracking 'consent' popups, newsletter signup popups, 'related content' interjections every paragraph - and that's with an adblocker

If it's too long and I don't wanna read it, I just don't reply.

Rule 1. Never read the article.
Rule 2. React with emotion.
Rule 3. You’re always right.
Rule 4. Anyone who disagrees with you, is always wrong.

At least that’s pretty much how Reddit works. I guess many people imported the rules when they emigrated.

Oh and almost forgot my personal answer: It depends. I try to read the post or article before commenting, but I’ve deviated from my own standards a few times.

For articles, I dont read the post body/article*, but I will read the comments then comment (which is already rare)

For all other posts, I do read the post body + the comments.

*If the article seems interesting, I'll read it. Usually though I dont.

Reading the title tells me if it's something I'm interested in. This is when I click and read the body. If the title isn't of interest, I'll mark it as read and move on.

If the title is interesting I'll read the text and if I decide to reply there's a good chance I'll sigh and discard my comment and move on.

Although sometimes I won't notice a post with an image has text underneath.

I read the title, and if it interests me, go to the comments.

And if there's something in the comments that hooks me enough to comment, I do. But often, I just check the article just so that I didn't miss something important. I sometimes still do miss something important though.

But before I make a reply in anger, I check the article and the surrounding context first. I still have my blind spots, however.

I tend to, unless I know the subject matter already.

If the title is clickbailty than the problem is the title

Depends

Is there something else to read that I’m missing?
