A lot of mainstream news source sites have heavily-policed comments or none at all. I'm sure there's plenty of spam comments, but it's almost like people with views that become disallowed in popular online platforms don't in fact change their views or stop existing as many seem to think, and instead find other outlets for their views. I hardly see any "right-wing" views from non-politicians in my Twitter follows, yet I know that millions of such people exist in the US alone. Again, there's likely some spam in there, but to handwave such a quantity of comments away as "bots" would be to ignore reality.
