Those comments can't reflect people who are drawn in by the article but don't engage. Upvotes hint it is a significant number.
Past that, I don't see non-reading commenters being a dominant presence. Some topics draw a few more than normal but that's the worst of it.
Really? I feel like P(didn't read the article | wrote a comment) to be quite high personally. Any thread with > 100 comments seems to be full of these posters.
