I usually add some useful context in the post-body of the posts I make.
Sometimes, it’s rather apparent when someone replies (typically antagonistically) without realizing that I’ve already addressed their concern in the body of the post that they decided not to read.
Strive to be more than a knee-jerk reaction.

You forgot rule 5: If you can’t think of anything insightful to say, be sarcastic and dismissive instead.
So many people here (as on Reddit) seemingly can’t resist the urge to drop an oh-so-clever zinger so they can watch the updoots roll in with zero critical thinking skills required. It’s tragic.
Usually it’s combined with rule 1, so they’ll be reacting to something in the title without realising the article explained what they’re griping about. Confidently incorrect, always.
Confidently incorrect? Sounds strangely familiar. So that’s where the LLMs learned it from. Reddit training data doing its thing apparently.
