Comment sections are largely ephemeral and only concern perhaps a couple dozen people at a time on average. In parallel, Internet service providers have structured their products to be consuming nodes, rather than providing nodes. Until we see demand for routers that have built in IPFS gateways, asking users to keep their computers on, or raspberry pi's online to keep a pin up for their comment section is simply too much of a stretch for the average user. Leading to a lack of confidence to a prospective user on the persistence of the comment section. "Sorry guys my cat chewed my power cable, anyone else serving the section, or is everyone taking from https://ipfs.io ? no, guess we have to start over :("
I wrestled with this for awhile. In fact it was what my first prototypes were based on- IPFS pubsub using this package https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-db . My movement away from it to the EVM event subscription architecture was driven by infrastructural concerns deriving from the pinning problem, the self hosting of other unknown users content problem
