Feel the same. I don't need to read what other people think about something before checking it out myself. it's possibly even better if I can make up my mind without any possible bias beforehand. If OPs start a discussion about the link it's a nice extra but I think the main content is the link itself.

One compromise I just came up with is to show if the first comment in a link post is a comment by the OP itself. Like a tag. But also not sure about this. This imo only makes sense if people really don't click on a link post unless the OP commented. Since we can already see if there are already comments.
