Seconded. I'd also like to see something implemented to control the contrast on downvoted/dead entries.

Either collapse them ala reddit or give me the option to disable the low contrast view.

We did make one change in this department. If you click on a comment's timestamp to go to its individual page, dead and downvoted comments should no longer be faded out. That's so people who want to consider vouching for a comment will be able to read it.

In case anyone is wondering, 'flag' and 'vouch' links don't appear beside comments in threads. You have to go to the comment's individual page (linked from its timestamp) to see them.

An example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10298777

Good change, by the way. Don't know how many times I've (probably fruitlessly) commented next to a dead comment to point out that they're unknowingly accidentally shadowbanned.
