Re:Ask HN: What websites should have a comment section?

Sites that want to create a community, foster a dialog or encourage reader participation.
The smaller the audience, the greater the chance that an empty comment section will exist. This is dangerous as it will reinforce the notion that a given site is unpopular and not worth using. Historically sites have used puppet accounts to prevent this.
