My approach is to read the title, then if I like it read the first paragraph, then if I like that skim the post, then in rare cases read the post in full (all informed by karma).
I can’t usually evaluate the quality of criticism without at least having skimmed the post. And once I’ve done that then I don’t usually gain much from the criticisms (although I do agree they’re sometimes useful).
I’m partly informed here by the fact that I tend to find Said’s criticisms unusually non-useful.
