Why would anyone bother? Well perhaps they care about the issue. Of course if the blog follows the Google behest and NoFollows all commenters' links as this blog does, then there is almost zero value to the commenter in making the comment. Given that Google puts such weight on worthwhile (hyper)links, it's a somewhat paradoxical position on Google's part. However I guess their algorithms have problems so they've got to arrange the world to help those algorithms function. It's a strange world.

So I'll take this opportunity to add that although I am not commenting, I have been enjoying your blog (and have learned quite a bit).

It could be a collective "meh" that's keeping the commentors away. Then again, the “echo chamber” effect may turn off commentors because of the repetition between some blogs.

I wrote a post yesterday I was sure would generate comments, but got nothing on the post itself. On FriendFeed? It had about 10 within an hour of posting it. Or, you know, they comment on FriendFeed.
