True for posts, and true for comments if they get upvotes. Downvotes however make comments less valuable. I imagine some people see the gray/faded comments and just presume low value content, which may not be the case.

- nullc 6y agoMany subreddits have automod set to hide (or hold for moderation) posts/comments from posters with below some threshold karma. You may not even know this is being done to you because it uses a shadowban-esq mechanism where the comments remain visible to you.
- pmiller2 6y agoI have showdead turned on, and, while you're right that most greyed out comments are low quality, there are a few that are just inexplicably greyed out. I vouch for these whenever possible, even if I don't necessarily agree with the content of the comment.
