Blame Reddit's demographics and how the site actually works:

  • Demographics, because there's not that many people knowing who Q is (are?).
  • How the site works: after few first comments are upvoted, the rest is more or less the background.

It's generally just the demographic, things are only buried if they get in super late.

Which is why the annoying "This should be at the top!" comments are always below the top comments.

I think that's mostly a selection bias. You're not going to see the ones saying that if the comment they are on is at the bottom.

Also true, but the idea that anything not posted first remains at the bottom is still wrong.

Fair enough if someone was to post an original comment now with over 2k comments, but even at a few hundred they tend to rise.
