the number of comments on a thread is not related to the value of the post. For example you could post something that most people disagree with. So they all comment stating their disagreement. Other folks come along and vote up the comments since they also dislike the post.
- curi 19y agoWidespread disagreement that people feel compelled to post about, rather than ignore, is notable!
