(Genuine Question) Is an article only considered good if it generates a large discussion?

What about if people read it, found it thought provoking, but didn't have anything to add, to discuss?

I would prefer this over the "me too!" or "here is my irrelevant/off topic opinion" comments we get all the time. Not everything has to generate 100 comments of debate.

I agree. I thought this was a great article and don't have much to add. Is there any evidence there is vote rigging in action here.

Same. I upvote all the time but rarely comment.
