I would likely never use this. I'm almost always here for the comments on the Show HN & Ask HNs as well as the Stories.

The comments on the Ask HN, Show HN are usually very informative, and have helped me a lot in my own side projects and entrepreneurial pursuits.

The comments on stories (for me) act as a curation tool, and based on what I read, I actually decide to either read the posted story, or pass on it.

W.r.t. stories posted, 9 /10 times, the comments are more insightful and offer unbiased commentary that the original stories -- many of which (on the internets, not HN) are click-baity / shock'n'awe type posts -- often lack.

You might be interested in a site I created, Day Old Hacker News (http://dayoldhackernews.com). This shows Hacker News as it was exactly one day ago, so the comments are always full.
Couldn't agree more. So many times I have searched if something was discussed in HN, just to read the comments.
