I sure hope that's not true. Maybe hit the comments section first?

Depends on the content, for all of these model release marketing sites, I for example only read the comments.

If i would estimate it, I only take a look at 1/4 of the links where i read the comments.

With github being the exception, I use comments to see if the article is AI. If it is, I prefer the condensed opinions in the comments. Not to say it can't be interesting I just don't want to waste time reading overly verbose generated text.
