imo this is a +1 for adding a comment option/requirement to link posts.
i think many coming to SN to market their own stuff are sharing links and leaving. a brief explanation of why their link matters will either prompt people to engage more deeply or not share their link at all.
it also has a side benefit of nudging people to read and understand the third-party links they share on here. i find myself sharing links here as fast as possible, often before even reading a single word.

definitely racing to be first.
one of the undesirable consequences though, is that if i’m sharing an article from someone who i know is reputable (but on a topic i know nothing about), it’s highly unlikely that i’ll have anything useful to add when other people make comments… and that can sometimes be the difference between a thread that dies and one that thrives.
its much better if someone competent in the subject matter is the one to post the article.
