I've never shared the text in the first comment, although I have a memory of seeing it done previously but not often. It's also the first time one of my articles hit the front page and I can't help but think that was part of the reason -- people were happy to read but not click. I'll consider it or perhaps do a condensed version of the article as a comment.
Curious, did you downvote because it seemed to violate the norms, or did it have a negative experience for you? Or was the negative experience seeing it violate the norms, or something else.
Thanks for the upvotes (and down votes!) and comments.
