The number of typical comments for a post determine what kind of people want to/are willing to comment:

0-10 comments: People who want to talk about the post per se

11-50 comments: People who want to have a conversation.

51- comments: People who want to join a mob.

Obviously, ynews is moving from the first to the second, and that changes the types of comments/people commenting/overall community.
