Not sure I agree with your conclusions. A high amount of response could just mean a controversial/inflammatory comment or a comment of inquisitive nature that people want to respond to, instead of a high-value comment. I apparently have an avg reply rate of 1.8 and would not say that my comments are somehow better than patios. |

Popular claptrap might not be valuable. Engagement can be value, and a many-to-many thread is typically good, except when it becomes a 1:1 drill down match. I think a sincere controversy is exceptionally valuable because it frames something essential about the topic, at least when it isn't just the iteration of talking points. A bold provocation can also be useful because the quality of the responses may reveal unexamined assumptions.
Better? Meh, but indicative of a certain quality factor, I'd say no doubt.
