, I bet thoughtful comments also get rewarded with further discussion in replies.

If they agree with the general opinion, sure they won’t get buried, but you still have to wade through the shit to get to them.

But if it’s a dissenting opinion, even if it makes logical sense, or even just has the facts straight, it will get buried.

I just miss the days that the internet wasn’t just snarky low effort jokes and memes and you could actually find decent discussions.
