So I was just looking at a post. It was an image post for a news article. However, it lacked a link to the actual article by OP. It had a lot of discussion, but it was almost universally from people who hadn't read the actual article and were simply reacting to the headline.
This creates a situation were much of the discussion is nothing more than opinions about a headline instead of substantive discussion about the content. It doesn't further anti-work ideas or concepts, it just makes the discussions… empty.
Now, this isn't my first time on the internet, I know there will always be those who don't read the article and still post. I don't think there is any good way to stop that. That said, aren't we doing ourselves a disservice if we don't ask that news article posts actually link to the articles themselves? Why can't we ask that if one wants to start a discussion about something, that they ensure that everyone has the opportunity to become informed about the subject?
I ask that mods set a requirement for articles to be created as links to said articles with their proper titles.
