I think allowing users to curate lists/bookmarks of certain types of content would help. Then having an automated related area under each post.
For some reason I don't like the idea of having a "context" area. I think it's because it's just one user who provides context currently probably because they want to help + it's easier than producing original thoughts on the content.
Yeah, I know, I definitely don't think it should make the UX more complicated, introduce yet another "concept", that's the biggest worry. Maybe it would be worth looking into what are the different types of situations that people face with context and maybe some types could be handled by different features.
There were definitely times where I found the content of the context comment useful. I scanned through the podcast timeline, or just read through the summarized point of the article (and decided not to actually read the article).
On the other hand there were definitely times where it felt spammy and I wished I wouldn't need to scroll through it...

Agreed, it's not useless in all cases. But the value is negligible if not negative in most cases.
@kr suggested I make replies to yourself also 10x each time.
