Not necessarily a bad thing though.

Think of it this way: There's value in having access to a list of curated content others have deemed "worth reading or looking at". But there is just as much value in engaging in some banter, provided it doesn't lead to outright war in the comments.

I admit, it is tiresome trying to seriously discuss a topic when people haven't actually read the article, but there is still an upside to a topic triggering at least enough interest to where people actually want to engage.
