They may think they’ve “won”, but so what?

The point of internet arguments is not to convince your opponent. That never happens.

The point is to convince the audience, and if you just leave then it looks like the sealion is right.

When the comment chain goes on long enough, there is no more audience.

Depends. If it's a subject I feel strongly about I'll go down the whole damn chain upvoting and downvoting as applicable.

Addendum: when a comment chain goes on long enough in both length and time since the original post, there is no more audience.
