Do not Keep up articles where “commenting has ended.”
If “commenting has been ended” on an article, there is no reason for the article to remain up, or, most egregiously, reposted with the current date. I was preparing to comment on an article with the dateline of today (1/1/24), when I saw that commenting had somehow already ended. Looking at the comments, they were from 3 weeks prior. How does commenting end 3 weeks before an article is posted? If an article is worth reposting, the public has the right to determine if it is still worth commenting on. I realized some factual errors and inaccurate assumptions made in an article about millennials willing to spend 7$ on coffee because it makes them happy, but have no way to correct the errors. The author was Serah Louis, and when I looked at the survey she referenced, I realized that not only was the survey flawed, but she didn’t accurately describe the survey and she also drew several erroneous conclusions from it. Poor reporting should be able to be criticized, even when reposted.
