How would both proposals allow for infinite scale though?
It seems like the machines can eventually learn to emulate human moderation, but a website like PBS may get 500+ comments. The user would immediately get overwhelmed at 50+ comments or more (guess). For example, on Reddit, people are learning to avoid posting if a thread has more than 200 posts because their highest-level post would be useless.

They don't have to scale infinitely, only a handful of news sites serve more than 20m pages/day.
As for not overwhelming users or moderators, that was part of my secret sauce. :)
