> Isn't actual response in words more useful to you? Yes, but if it has actual content. +1 comments are inferior to upvotes.

  Right, what content voting has? None. That's why it is irrelevant for me.

    It moved the comment you were reading up the list making it more likely you see it (or down/less)… unless you read all the comments on HN. (Or maybe read from the bottom up?)

      Yes, and I don't like it much. More visible content is even more visible in time. But not necessary more relevant. Maybe more liked, but how much only because "you don't want to sroll more"? However "votes" for commenting suggested links makes more sense for me. It naturally expose topics that users willing to discuss and care about.
