"software which demotes overheated discussions" is pretty noticeable. It seems as soon as a story gets more comments than it has points, it drops like a rock from the front page.
- larkeith 8y agoIMO this is by far one of the best features of HN - discussion quality tends to nosedive on such threads, or more accurately, be buried under unrelated (frequently political, emotionally-charged, and/or low-effort) comments.
- EduardoBautista 8y agoI disagree. Usually they have a lot of comments because they are worth discussing.
