This is one of those things I wish surfaced in the UI: polarized votes vs. consensus votes.
I actually really like the dimmed blocks of text for highly downvoted content.
But I've made a few comments that were _extremely_ controversial and oscillated wildly a few points up or down over the course of an hour. Once I noticed what was happening, I started refreshing out of curiosity to see how wild the oscillations were.
It seemed like the comment was getting hundreds of votes, but staying around a total point count of 10.
A comment with a point count of 10 and a total of 10 votes signals something very different than a comment with a point count of 10 and a total of 500 votes.
