It sounds like you want to use a rare occurrence (trix/aura argument) to justify a global change that benefits you (wanting to hide comments pointing out your encode issues).
It doesn't have anything to do with bookmarking threads. I like to see what all the new comments are about anything from the last time I checked. But keep trying for another excuse why it can't be done when it can. It's just a pain to click on a bunch "threads" to have them marked as read.
Try opening the "Trix vs Aura" page on mobile using the default mobile view (not the optional "View as Desktop" that some browsers have built-in). You’ll see that the comment section is constrained and doesn’t function properly... you can’t even post a comment, especially when replies to a message start piling up.
The comment section is simply not designed for mobile use.
Strongly against this being a default. Currently AT is very much usable without enabling Javascript on any browser, even very old ones, needing JS to change what to display would suck. If you don't want to see comments you could configure your adblock addon to hide #view_comments (id) for all comments or .comment (class). A compromise would be some option somewhere (like a cookie).
Would it be possible to hide comments by default on all releases and add a "Reveal" button or something for users who want to read or post comments?
This would help avoid loading very large comment sections (for example, 180+ comments on some releases, such as the recent "Trix vs Aura" one), which can cause lag on certain devices and increase page load times on mobile. It would also reduce unnecessary bandwidth usage, even if the savings are relatively small.
I’d also like to point out that the current comment layout is not well suited for mobile viewing, and makes reading or posting comments on mobile quite difficult. Hiding comments by default would prevent unnecessary components (in this case, comments) from being loaded on those devices as well unless the user chooses to load them.

Not really. I mainly use "View All" and open the ones I might want to reply to or for context. Now if I'm away for a day or 2 I don't know where I left off at. Having the ones I've seen marked as read saves time.
Admin, could you possibly add a "Read All" button for the comment section? It would be easier than clicking on each comment to mark them as read. Thanx.

That's Aki from Scum of the Brave as the new mascot girl this quarter, right? Good choice - she's makes me laugh, and her Japanese voice actress is one of my favorites.
I made a change recently where if a TT entry links directly to Nyaa or nekoBT, it gets ignored, which means that the Nyaa/nekoBT listing only gets shown. This ensures that the metadata shown matches the original listing as opposed to what TT shows.
if there is a torrent that is both on nyaa and TT both are listed, if there are torrents that are both on TT and neko it lookes like only that source it was first found are listed, hope that makes it clear...
Are you saying that, despite what you said, you don't want more reach (or that the comments don't get you more reach) and you expect others to see that by "reading between the lines"? If so, why did you make such a comment that you believe to be obviously false?
