I was a lazy type in reading when I first joined this forum, whenever I saw a post, I would just read the post itself without reading the comments. I don't always take the comments seriously because I always assume that I will understand everything about cryptocurrencies from the post itself. But I've realised that reading through the comments here is the best way to learn because they represent a variety of viewpoints, and I learned that being serious in this forum won't only benefit you inside it, but it will also benefit you outside of it.
Talking about reading posts and it's subsequent comments for better understanding, it's actually very encouraging to do so, but you have to also realize that everything here depends on the post in question.
If the post is one that deals with great knowledge on crypto, like it teaches the reader how to carry some taskes successfully, like investing and trading and so on, or maybe a procedure to airdrop farming, then you really don't need to also read the comments to fully grasp the understanding in the post itself, but you can still decide to read the comment to discover what other user think about the procedures outlined by the poster.
But if what we are looking at is a question post which will require answers from users in the comment section, then for such posts, the comment section is very important and shouldnt be neglected since that is where the answer to the poster's question is hidden.
