Ask HN: Is HN implementing a new comment ranking system?
My comment on this thread:<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=6271264<p>was top rank for a while and then suddenly bottom ranked, even though more plus votes had been added. I am not for a moment complaining as I believe that some sort of system that removes top rank comments from remaining top ranked is desirable in many circumstances.<p>In some threads top comments tend to remain top because people read and rate them first, even though they may be far from the most &quot;valuable&quot; comment. They tend to stay top ranked because of inertia.<p>I am surprised that my comment was considered &quot;worthless&quot; but I don&#x27;t care, just curious to find out if some tweaking is going on with the comment ranking - a good thing in my opinion.
