    I remember the "end of punch card" broadcast on radio4. And they were wrong about that.

    Zeity started using punch cards in 2014 and is hoping to move to an Atari in 2020.

    The problem with comment sections arises when high quality content is posted, but the responses received consist almost entirely of abuse, deranged ranting, and utter gibberish.

    The CUK forums have managed to avoid this pattern, as no high quality content is ever posted in the first place

    It's all down to the moderators.

    CUK will be fine as we have excellent mods

    Many publications do the same, simply as click bait to provoke comment. Eg theregister.co.uk.

    Alongside shouting, swearing and incivility, comment sections can also attract racism and sexism.
    I think CUK will be okay in that case.
