I agree, but assume by "comments" you mean community. If it was just random comments it would be terrible.
Also, just to give a little insight in some data -- on my Hacker Newsletter side-project, the HN links (which are included for every article) see about 15% of the total clicks. I don't have an easy way to look the ratio of article/hn, but I'm going to look into that more and see if I can pull that as well. That ratio has dropped over the years as my newsletter pulls in more and more non-HN regulars.
