A comment on Ask HN: Do you think comments algorithms on social media platforms are bad?.

I noticed that for a while, YouTube heavily prioritized positive comments. This seemed like an excellent thing for everyone. It seems to have changed recently but I could be wrong.

LinkedIn also sorts comments by a nebulous "Most relevant" that never makes sense. It won't even list the subcomments in order.

In my opinion, reddit does it best by sorting one way and letting you change it.

Yes, reddit is much better and having more mod controls for comments would be great.
