> understand that people should read the full article instead of drawing any conclusion from a mere image, but lots of people don't

People who don’t read the article and find themselves lacking an informed or nuanced understanding of the contents of said article are the only ones to blame here. Full stop.

That HN doesn’t have a culture of shaming those who don’t read the article is partly the fault of the rules here which finds “read the article please” to be a distraction/nuisance but don’t mind that this often results in misinformed discussion propagating toward the top of a thread.
