Part of the reason to have comments as part of your site is for SEO and capturing the long tail from user generated content. Basically rank higher on keywords searchers actually use by letting them use their own words on your site. Disclaimer: I run Remarkbox (https://www.remarkbox.com https://www.remarkbox.com)

Yeah, totally makes sense to have a comment section. This is for websites that don't offer that.

But interesting project you run there. Kinda like Disqus? Also, whos legal responsibility are the comments? I guess yours, as you host them?

You forgot the other reason on many sites: showing more and more ads at each step :-)
