>For example on HN, sometimes there are hundreds of comments on a post. HN doesn't notify you of replies to your comments. And yet, people write comments, maybe hoping that someone will reply to them. I just don't know what the "utility" is in these situations.
Huh? Weird take, I actually come to HN for the comments. I think those are, by far, the most valuable thing on this site.
