> when people make comments that aren’t just reasonable sounding but are actually correct, those comments tend to get upvoted For a while, I found that on pages with lots of comments the most interesting ones were to be found at the top––and, buried between actual dross, at the bottom. That might have changed, I don't see it that much anymore. But that could be a side effect of something even less desirable. I think some people may have started flagging whole articles when the discussion has "too many" comments they dislike. I can't prove this, of course.
