I've found the New York Times's comment section to be surprisingly decent for some reason. But that's in comparison to my very low expectations for these things.


Could this have to do with the fact that the site is paywalled and not open to the bots and trolls that overwhelm other news organizations' comment sections?


It’s because they are heavily moderated.
