More and more I see comments, unless explicitly asked for, as spam that I'd disable if I could.
On Facebook, I've often limited comments to friends, who don't tend to spam, presumably because we like to stay on good terms, and spam is an imposition.
And I think most of the energy in social networks these days goes into keeping the garbage out of replies, and if we gave stronger tools to originators, there would be less work for the platform to do, and overall happier people.
