I think it’s news like this is what will get gears turning again on IntenseDebate. I’d love to see what Automattic can do with it.

I’m sure revenue (or lack thereof) is an issue but it probably mostly has to do with Matt just liking Jetpack Comments better. This comment (near the bottom) illustrates better.

I get it too. I’m personally not a fan of the clunky comment systems like Disqus with upvoting, downvoting, top comments, and the like. I appreciate a nice, clean chronological, threaded list of comments that doesn’t freeze up my phone because of all the ajax-y stuff going on.

However, if I was a big publisher that got hundreds/thousands of comments on each post, I would change my tune, as there is value in highlighting the best ones from the rest of the junk that tends to pollute large discussions.
