On: Gawker finds making it harder for comments to be seen leads to better comments

[andylei]

shouldn't this graph be controlled for traffic? if traffic has grown, that's probably where a lot of the extra comments came from.

The graph is designed to illustrate that heavily controlling comments still generates a lot of comments.

That said, it would be interesting to have a graph that shows the engagement rate for users; something like Comments for every 1 Million page views.
