Personally an argument I would find more compelling is to note that the OP doesn’t answer comments, making the value of discussion lower and it less interesting for a public forum. Also there is already a newsletter for cold takes that people can subscribe to.
Noting that I’m now going back through posts responding to comments, after putting off doing so for months—I generally find it easier to do this in bulk to avoid being distracted from my core priorities, though this time I think I put it off longer than I should’ve.
It is generally true that my participation in comments is extremely sporadic/sparse, and folks should factor that into curation decisions.
