This is fantastic, I have been pondering about the usefulness of comments in the age of twitter/facebook/social media in general for a while. Not being exposed to the ramblings of random individuals would be a blessing.

On the other hand, a lot of times, I am only interested in comments, as the article itself is junk.

I am referring to comments on the page itself. I feel like that as well, when on HN or some other community I choose to listen to.

No, I do realize this is ironic. I am commenting about the "message" one might take away from the idea.

I am serious in my doubts about the usefulness comments on article/blog pages when there are lots of places that offer discussion in a more controlled way.
