Would allowing only paid subscribers to comment help keep comments open?
The NYT seems like one of the last remaining organizations that offer moderated comments on its articles. The Guardian UK dumped comments a long time ago (except for sports).
Comment spam and hate speech is a huge issue that I'm surprised anti-spam tech has not been able to address. The cost of human moderation is why websites, blogs and community groups ceded their audience to Facebook a decade ago. We've been paying the price ever since.
