Nice one.

When I was a kid, I dreamed of having a functional third arm, this seems like the first step in that direction.

This is what my ex-gf would call my manhood. Guess why we aren't dating any more...
On HN, quite a few of them seem to get heavily downvoted (sometimes enough to mark them as dead, meaning you won't see them unless you explicitly opt in to see them).
Groupthink is another significant problem, particularly on topics which tend to gravitate toward ideology. Many economics subs operate this way.
Because I don't think I've seen too many low effort comments here recently, or at least not much more than there were in the past.
And while political threads get a bit out of control, my experience there is that the most volatile, disruptive posts tend to get downvoted to hell before they can cause too much of an issue. So even if a certain percentage of alt-right/SJW type content is a bit more common than it was before, it tends to get rightfully buried under hundreds more thoughtful ones.
