The value I get from negative comments is usually higher.

My usual journey: I visit the comment section and then look for the first top comment that criticizes the core thesis of the article.

If i find an article online, ill sometimes pass it through a HN search to see any issues with it.

There are plenty of articles or news ive red that made me think "that's pretty clever" only for HN to point out background i missed and tradeoffs making a solution worse.

Sometimes criticism is shallow or pedantic, but thats easy to dismiss if irrelevant.
