A more interesting analysis would be comment length.

In my old analysis (http://minimaxir.com/2014/10/hn-comments-about-comments/), it's not that interesting.

Comments are getting longer over time on average (http://minimaxir.com/img/hn-comments/monthly_average_words.p...), and there is a slight positive correlation between comment score and comment length (http://minimaxir.com/img/hn-comments/distribution_comment_po...), but that can't be remade with the BigQuery dataset since comment scores are no longer public.
