I purposely installed a browser plugin that removes comment sections from web sites. I really don’t know why anyone would want to add one.

The problem with comment sections on web sites is that the web sites are incentivized to have shitty comments for engagement and ease of moderation. If it's a browser plugin, it's out of the website's hands and as the user I could probably configure it so I only see comments from people I think are good at commenting, like my friends or people I follow on social media.

I think it was to be able to discuss things on websites that removed comment sections or that had a lot of heavy moderation that prevented meaningful discussions.
