Yeah, this is definitely an interesting question. I'm always astonished at the number of comments the megathreads get. If every one of those comments was a post in a community on the site, it would "feel" more "active". I wonder how many communities active users actually subscribe to. Sometimes I'll post something, and it feels like it goes to the void, even though the community might say it has a number of subscribers.
I have no idea how someone can follow the megathread comment section. With thousands of comments, maybe hundreds of top-level comments, it seems really daunting to dive into.
The megathread really is a community of its own. In honesty, I'd never even clicked on a megathread 'til a few months ago, my brain just blanks out the pinned posts.
