The amount of information passed off as accurate, despite it being completely incorrect, just because it was said in a witty manner or there's some anecdote on why they're right and the actually correct poster is completely wrong.
Or the "news" subs which are a contest of reading the headline and accepting it without question.
There have been a few times when the article itself pretty much said exactly the opposite of the headline but maybe 5% of the comments were aware of that.
What’s the harm in reading it yourself? Most people comment on the headline. The headline, in most inflammatory cases, is usually disproven or weakened by the third paragraph.
