Because there's a high enough percent of good content, comments are often helpful, and it's lightweight.

I don't define a goal before I open a news site, so not applicable.

The recent addition of next/prev buttons is nice, though keeping relative position on the screen would be nicer (so I'll continue to use collapse, another fairly recent feature). One big omission from the featureset is easily seeing what's new, either in replies to your comments or (to a lesser extent) in threads, though some argue it's for the better that you have to seek out replies actively so idk.
