I don't know that this is always the case, or if it's a scale thing. I remember great, classic forum threads with 100+ pages that would get referenced, maintained, etc. It felt like being put on the same level as everyone else in sequential order was a pretty even playing field. It also gave you the ability to summarize and respond to a few different comments at once instead of having to navigate multiple content threads. That said, I don't know if forum discussions would work for r/funny posts at that scale. It's literally a consistent 10K comments, all junk pretty much. The number of pages would blow up constantly, and it would definitely be harder to navigate the reactions.
