Yeah, it’s a structural issue promoting certain behaviour:( also visible upvotes makes comments going back and forth sorta like battleground with cheering (or maybe that’s just me). maybe removing upvotes after certain depth (5 comments deep say, for an hour) can be helpful?
It's an unintended consequence of removing downvotes. Downvotes used to push controversial posts with lots of comments down on the page, but now it just looks like no one disagreed with the posts.
The algorithm should be re-written to be designed to work right without downvotes.
Yeah, I mentioned in megathread that comment tree is like legit tree, you can parametrize tallness (arguing) vs broadness (response to post) to number and adjust visibility weight by it
