> But without moderation, it trends towards mud-slinging, vitriol where arguments become so divided that it's no longer discourse.

I think of it as performance art of insane babble, satire, potty-humour. Should "proper discourse and exchange of ideas" be the only thing allowed to exist?

(I have no problem with advertisers pulling away from it, either.)

No site, not even ZH, has a worse comments section than YouTube. Seems to me that it's going to be really hard for Google to escape charges of hypocrisy by banning sites not because of news content but because of unorthodox and offensive comment threads.
