Comment on Ask HN: Does anyone else misread the 'time since comment' as karma now?

Comments

I am surprised at how much I miss comment karma being visible. I scoffed at those who said they used it to gauge comments to consider versus skim past, but it turns out, it's exactly what I'd been doing. I guess I hadn't realized the amplification of the comment volume that has happened lately.

Yeah, I'm noticing it is harder with longer threads to get what the "group" finds important. For want of a better way to say it, it feels like I am more "alone" when reading the comments. I cannot see the wisdom of other people. Also, long response chains are really a pain because they "feel" harder to follow.
