I used to think that a high comment count was a better indicator of quality than kudos, just because it requires more effort of the reader (who presumably is especially moved by the fic).

However, I've noticed that comment counts have fallen dramatically across all the fandoms I read, even on those fics that are truly outstanding. So unless the fic is old enough to have accumulated comments back when people were more generous in leaving them... that doesn't count for much, either.

Add to that the fact that a mediocre fic that pushes all the right fandom buttons (juggernaut pairing + fluff or PWP or whatever the fandom in question skews towards) will have a high kudos count, and many a terrific "niche" fic won't, and - well, it's a crap shoot.

Yes, I agree on general laziness/apathy being more prevalent now. And I think the comment count is also easily skewed because sometimes authors reply to their comments (or they/others end up in a long comment-discussion).
