Ask HN: How do you decide, link or comments

1 points by yeowMeng ↗ HN
Sometimes I click the link first, sometimes I click the comments.

It's a tough question to answer, but I ask anyhow.

I am more inclined to click on a link on a topic for which i do not have much background so that i can understand the comments better and possibly contribute to them.

If i feel i have good level of knowledge or even domain expertise then I go straight for the comments.

Also, I look at the topic and the source. If sounds a little clickbait-y then I go for the comments (if at all).
