Upcoming Experiment for Commenting

TIL comments on StackOverflow, and the rest of the network of sites, are ephemeral and serve to solely improve the current question or answer.

Comments are a common feature on the Internet. Most, if not all, people understand the point of comments and how to use them… Except on the Stack Exchange network, where comments are meant to be ephemeral and primarily for the purpose of improving Q&A. This is different from how the rest of the Internet uses comments.

Discovered via a Stack Exchange Meta question.
