Internet users who post, en mass, mostly-useless comments on online articles.
This term particularly refers to users who post comments on articles which not the kind of articles which require any analysis. The articles generally come in 2 types: (1) articles about superficial topics (such as: entertainment, celebrity) that aren't important enough to comment on. And (2) articles where the general opinion about the article is obvious so there is no need to state it.
Comment cattle are usually the kind of people that like to hear themselves talk, and are generally less intelligent than the average internet user. One of the ironies about comment cattle is that they usually post comments on articles to point out how stupid other people are.
Some savvy internet users now create viral stories to draw in comment cattle, such as the girl who supposedly got a tattoo on her arm after dating her boyfriend for only one week - even though it turned out to be a hoax. Even some legitimate news sites write articles which are particularly designed to bring out comment cattle - "The Huffington Post" and "Yahoo" are two examples.

EXAMPLE 1 - An article about Jenifer Aniston buying new shoes:
Commenter #1: "This article is stupid. Why do they even publish this?"
Commenter #2: "Because it brings out the comment cattle. Like you."
EXAMPLE 2 - An article about a mom who sold her kids for a Big Mac:
Commenter #1: "Burn in hell."
Commenter #2: "I can't believe a mother would do this."
Commenter #987: "She doesn't deserve to be a mother!"

Extensive arguments that take place in the 'Commentary' of a YouTube video. Usually regarding politics or racism.
I was interested to see what others thought of 'The Evolution of Dance' video, but then I saw yet another comment clash over racism in the United States was taking place.

The amount of time it takes for a comment to be completely wiped off your facebook wall due to newer comments.
"Crap, my girlfriend left me a comment thats gonna make me look like a puss in front of everyone."
"yeah, looks like you've got poor comment turnover so it'll be around for a while!"

A feeling of sheer dread one gets when he/she suddenly thinks they may have messed up on that previous comment, especially around people who tear freinds limb from limb at the sight of bad grammer.
Bill's Comment: "Your so awesome" Oh crap i hope i did that right... I've got Comment Anxiety.. Im freaking out!
Everyone on Bills Freinds List; "It's YOU'RE you douchenugget!"

As someone who has used the comments section for 5 years, it’s decent at best with some actual people with brain cells and bring up actual quality points. But that’s kinda hard to find. At worst it’s the most toxic heap of garbage. I would say it’s the worst, but Twitter exists, and loads of people there are idiots. The majority of people there are ignorant, assholes, manchildren, trolls (not even the funny kind) spammers, like beggars, annoying and idiots. You’ll either be pretty happy after reading them, or start thinking that humanity was a mistake.
The day YouTube decides to make an option to never look at comments again on videos is the day we can live in peace and harmony.

When you have a full conversation with someone on facebook, only its done by continualy commenting back and forth on someone's profile, picture, or status.
Yesterday I commented on his status and an hour later We were still comment-versating about the party last night.
