It's partly a problem of bringing in enough new blood. For a few years, we did. However, the interactions/discussions on the site have evolved over time. Retention is an issue. New and old users find a different site today than they did last time we had this level of activity.

I have experienced, and I have been told by many, that comment threads are tiring now. They often cause regret.

Showing less comments might make the situation worse, but I am ok with taking that risk given the current trajectory.
