Imagine if there were 40 comments that all said "Cool" or "Nice work".
This has never happened. And it won't happen. We're worrying about the wrong things. It doesn't make sense to reply to "Coffee is good" by saying "Careful, you might drown in it."
A comment doesn't need to add anything. The sorting algorithm penalizes short comments. They end up at the bottom.
Imagine if there were forty comments that said variations of "Thank you." After you read the first one, you'd know immediately to stop reading. The sorting algorithm ensures you won't miss anything. Troll comments, perhaps, but not valuable ones.
Alternatively, you could read all forty comments. It would be about a hundred words in total.
