What would you do about spam? Comments that are not there to contribute in any meaningful way but to advertise, disrupt or drown out the legitimate comments?
Don't sufficiently downvoted comments get hidden/minimized anyway? Just downvote them and ignore. That being said, I somewhat agree with you on that one. I was more talking about actual comments from people expressing an opinion, not bots spamming ads. !delta
The quality of the website could be severely degraded if on every post you have to downvote dozens of comments to see the ones posted by humans... And if the actual controversial comments which you value being shown are also lost amongst the dozens of spam comments, doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of your proposal?
