I don't see how that post would be a good example to advocate for the approach. It has 23 comments, quite a lot compared to other posts. So it'd stipp end up with a high ranking and it wordn't really change the overall picture...

A lot of comments came after the high amount of upvotes.
In simpler terms, upvotes boosted the comments which allowed the comments to keep getting more irrelevant.
What I am arguing for here in general is a quality control for votes, which is desperately needed here on Lemmy.
As of now, any quality control system would work better than no quality control system at all.
