To me, the quality of the site matters most. Removing a chunk of content (i.e. comments) consisting of x% of its class, with n% of the content removed being good, removes f(n,x)% = ((n*x)/100)% of the good content in that content class. The limit as (n) approaches 100 of f(n,x) is (x); so if (n) is sufficiently high, you are effectively simply removing (x)% of the good content with ~0 benefit.
