Would be interesting to find out the value (upvotes) of sponsored content vs. unsponsered content, as well as comments from green users vs normal users.

There isn't sponsored content on HN. (if you are referring to the job ads, those do not receive upvotes and follow a steady rank decay.)

What? The lack of upvotes (or steady decay) does not make it “not content”.
