One thing I’d say about the fold is that it may give you extra information on which posts your readers are actively reading. This goes in part to your observation the other day that the science posts receive fewer comments than the atheism posts. Under a ‘fold’ system, you’d be able to monitor the individual page hits, whereas currently these stats would be diluted by those who just read the post on the main page without clicking through.
Whether this provides you with benefits that exceed the ‘costs’ borne by your readers by having to click into the article to read it, I can’t say.
Personally, I prefer the status quo.
Whoops, didn’t realise I’d clicked on the image. I’ll re-post in the main article.
