The proposed solution assumes a linear relationship between number of votes and number of comments. But depending on the post there might not be much to say. Especially with bad content.

Memes often dont need imput, not accounting if they are good or bad

One problem thou, threaded comments is no use in this use case.
In simpler terms, if you are using threaded comments social media to share memes, you are using the wrong tool/platform to view memes.

I read an article the other day about the woman who wrote that tell all book about Meta. Supposedly (according to the article) she faces a $50K fine every time she breaks the contract she agreed to when departing the company by defaming them. But she has not ever been charged that fine. But she is facing bankruptcy.
That’s an article that’s so poorly written that it literally doesn’t seem to have warranted any comment except mine which says literally “I do not understand the facts presented in this article and how they correlate”. Last I checked there were no other comments.
We see articles like this all the time.
