I would be curious.

What happens if you divide it not by comments, but by commenters? How much is sentiment being shaped by a vocal minority who is always saying the same thing, and how much does it seem to be a broad-based sentiment among the overall audience that occasionally responds?

yeah, really good point. I've noticed on some topics a few users come out of the woodwork and post a lot.

absolutely. One fun thing I learnt about reddit is how blocking just a few hyper commenters can suddenly make a post 10x calmer. You should definitely take into account the frequency of the users commenting with data like this.
