Awesome! You've written down a pattern I noticed on both Reddit and HN -- what I called the troll filter: if more comments than points, the troll filter fails (the link is a troll and unlikely to be worth reading). Exceptions are the types of threads where people are encouraged to contribute, such as "who's hiring" or "I'm <something interesting>, ask me anything" I'll use this.
