Sorry, no link to some ‘news’ article. /s

I’m a newcomer myself, but it seems my feed is just filled with low-effort news links with no other content. It’s c/mildlyinfuriating at this point. Maybe moderators outside of communities that are specifically for current events could require at least an effort by the op to add some of her own thoughts?

Did you expect something else from a link aggregator?

    Yes. Reddit would not be what it is were it not for discussion.

    The discussion is in the comments. It's even a meme that no one reads the article before commenting.

    The Discussion can still be there? Linking to a content is almost no different than Uploading said content straight to the instance, said content could even be OP's OC but uploaded to their own server for possibly many reasons, including true content ownership or saving the instance the data transfer costs

    But this choice in no way stops conversation from happening, if nobody engages with a Linked News Article, the same Article copy pasted straight into the Instance wont get attention either
