Op communicated their emotional noise rather than being constructive (signal). The content is there in between the complaints.

Can anyone tell me why some comments, like this one, are darker than others? It would appear lighter with the default scheme.

Those are comments that have been predominately downvoted.

From the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html

> Why don't I see down arrows?

> There are no down arrows on stories. They appear on comments after users reach a certain karma threshold, but never on direct replies.

Thank you! I wasn't aware there were even downvotes, so I didn't think of that as a possibility.

I believe it means the post was down-voted below zero.
