Can we reconsider the megathreads?

In the past during model releases there used to be tons of interesting discussions happening on this subreddit. However, the new rules of forcing everything into a single megathread almost completely killed off the discussions as far as I can tell. I get that some people didn't like seeing 10 posts with just the HF link but imo the change wasn't worth it.
Megathreads are bad for several reasons. Firstly, they make any topic be buried under all the comments with very few ways to find a specific discussion again in case you want to come back to it later. Secondly, comments are just not well suited for posting charts, tables and longer texts that are useful when discussing benchmarks or experiences with the new models. And lastly, megathreads themselves aren't that visible in the first place, I think most people dont even notice them most of the time (though admittedly this is a reddit problem not specific to this subreddit).
Just look at the two megathreads up right now, there is barely any activity going on in them and only a fraction of the comments in there have actual back and forth discussions happening.
