Some clarity:

If a comment has no shares, only the person that made the comment, and the users that follow them will see the comment. A comment without shares is a comment with little to no audience.

You will have the option to see all comments on your posts and all replies to your comments. The default will likely be off.

Sharing propagates content across the userbase quickly. It will take very few users sharing comments from the global stream to get quality comments from unfollowed users across the site. Also, for posters that choose to see all comments on their posts, there is another opportunity for quality comments (and the users that make them) to be seen and appreciated.
