>Are you sure comments are still desirable? Isn't step 1 of the internet anymore "Never read the comments"?

It very much depends on who you ask. As a reader, I always check the comments on an article. It's easily 75% of the fun of the Internet to me, more so if it's a shitshow. I can understand not everyone feels the same. I've been hearing for years from many different people how Twitter is a garbage dump, but to me it's no worse or better than any other place where people can respond to each other.



Of course if you ask this question 3 levels deep in a comment thread this is the kind of answers you are going to get; survivor bias.
