Your average karma is 24, so your comments are weighted much, much more than others (it's one of metrics HN uses to rank comments). Also, your comment is long, which is also a factor (though, not a big one).

- baby 14y agoWow, I never thought about weighing comments that are longer. But that makes a lot of sense!
- nicholassmith 14y agoIf you take comment length + karma per post / comments on post you should end up with reasonably decent comments making it to the top. Ish. It's still never going to be able to fully deal with all the corner cases on a site as large as HN but it's often Good Enough.
