Thanks for the reply dang.
Upon further reflection, maybe it is just the 'top' comments in a thread that have the unrealistically positive sentiment. Yes, down-threads do tend to be more nuanced, but those also tend to have less comments and sub comments. I don't have the data, and I do have my own biases of course, but I feel that I see large comment blocks of thread derailing and bickering at the top. The more 'reasonable' comments then get shoved to the bottom (in XYZcoin threads).
The bias is the Semmelweis reflex (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semmelweis_reflex https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semmelweis_reflex)
