I don’t remember the Slashdot comments ever being valuable. It was flooded with troll comments, and once you got past the troll comments, there were low-effort jokes, “first”, etc. Dig through the Internet Archive and you’ll see old Slashdot comments in all their glorious mediocrity.

Or search for “gnaa”, but not if you’re on a corporate network.

Maybe I'm wearing rose-tinted glasses, but I remember Slashdot comments being full of highly insightful and informative comments back in the early 2000s.
