IMHO, I believe you need to align your expectations about value you wanna extract from the comment section.

Do you want spread the content or you want to enrich the content? It's very important to know.

I can see you already accepted the challenge to build the thing from nothing. What worries you seems the hard and must-do decision, because if you chose a delegated system you will have a big problems to migrate the content generated through the comments.

If you want just spread the content, go with the delegated systems, FB for e.g.

If you want to create value, build your system, it will give you space to explore possibilities that underlies out of your sight.

I think I understand what you mean about native comments allowing me to do more to enrich their content, but I'm curious about what you mean by "spread?"

Could you elaborate?

What I mean about "spread"... You can use facebook comments, genius annotations or even ask for comments in leaderboards platforms like reddit or HN.

Thinking about delegated systems I can only see two purposes: a) Make your project/content be acknowledged by the people (Spread by piggybacking) or b) Cut off engineering resources regarding to the lack of value created through those comments.

At some point, we need to decide if the comments are a value to keep or to trade.
