I don't think this thread is about comment quality in general (which I agree is still quite good), but conspiracy theories in particular.

I don't think this thread is about comment quality in general (which I agree is still quite good), but conspiracy theories in particular.
- leereeves 4y agoWhat conspiracy theories? I don't recall seeing many on HN. (Ok, there are some comments about "birds aren't real" on a high ranked post right now, but that's a joke.)
- gpm 4y agoBasically all of them. They tend to eventually be flagged (though not always), but the overton window has also generally moved on this site to becoming more accepting of them. If you want an example, I picked a thread out via google. It's particularly high density, because that's all you can easily find with google.
