It really depends on the number of participants. A thousand comment thread could take an hour to properly read through every viewpoint. If we are only willing to spend a few minutes on that thread it needs some kind of filter.
If there are only 5 participants in a thread though it is different. Traditional forums would be read like this, but were almost always at a much lower scale.

Yes, and at too large scales communication becomes less meaningful, you can't scale it to millions of people without getting something else. Even in large cities or at giant festivals, people tend to mingle in smaller groups, there's just more of those groups the larger the city or festival is, it's not like people stand around in ever larger circles, shouting louder and louder. Groups that get too big break up into smaller ones naturally because they start to noticeably suck.
