The reason it is top-rated is because it sounds extremely reasonable. This is enough for most people.
I am not judging on whether the comment is correct or not, just answering why it is top-rated. I find nothing weird about it.
- amelius 2y agoDoesn't a comment automatically rise to the top if there's lots of discussion below it?
- zamadatix 2y agoI've read something more of the opposite before: posts with lots of comments risk being down weighted unless they've received a lot of upvotes. Supposedly something to do with wanting to avoid lower value content which is attracting a large amount of discussion anyways. I've never heard of anything of this nature regarding comments though.
- instagib 2y agoTheir down weighted method is odd. It causes stories to essentially die. I saw one get upvotes which turned into going lower down the list until it fell off. Paste the post id after id= https://news.social-protocols.org/stats?id= https://news.social-protocols.org/stats?id=
- kelnos 2y agoI don't think the comment sounds unreasonable, and I don't find anything weird about the words in the comment itself. It just kinda bums me out that so many people must come here and comment and upvote comments without even reading or skimming the first few paragraphs of the article. This isn't news to me, of course; I've been a frequent HN reader for over a decade now. But it still bums me out.
