Yes thanks for mentioning this, the comments to this post are unusual even for HN. I'm wondering if there are so many comments that they are not actually sorted

Yes thanks for mentioning this, the comments to this post are unusual even for HN. I'm wondering if there are so many comments that they are not actually sorted by most upvotes correctly
- squeaky-clean 6y agoI don't know the algorithm they use, but I don't think HN has ever sorted comments purely by most upvotes, or upvote ratio. There's definitely some sort of recency bonus, newer comments with no votes tend to reach the top above older comments with many votes.
- sib301 6y agoYour way of thinking fascinates and terrifies me. A lot of people are saying things I don’t agree with, so it must be a problem with the “algorithm”. Maybe it’s just that the majority of the people here feel a certain way.
