Cool. I thought it wouldn't be feasible, but those numbers really help cement that idea. Thank you.

- lucb1e 9y agoAnd thank you for asking :). I had the same question and the answer is fantastic. I really wish HN had some mechanism of extra upvotes, e.g. by being allowed to hand out one extra upvote per day or week, or by paying 5 cents (eur/usd) to buy an extra upvote (with a maximum of X per post or Y per day, or both, or whatever)... but alas.
- nkurz 9y agoA possible mechanism for this is the "favorite" link that you can get to by clicking on the timestamp of a comment. Currently, I don't think much is being done with it other than adding it to a private per-user list, but it could also be used to highlight or boost the chosen comments? A quick fix might be to just add another item to the "Lists" link at the bottom that shows the top "Favorited" comments, based on how many people have it as their most recent (or 10 most recent) favorite.
