That’s a fair take. I suppose it depends on what you prioritize. Even in this post it’s difficult to see the most latest comment unless you read and expand all of them.

After a few hundred I personally don’t bother. great example is the musk Twitter thread. Good luck finding the globally newest comment.

It's probably hard for me to relate with your problem, because I'm literally never interested in most recents comments. What is your "usecase" in reading newest comments?

[endisneigh]

I mean, the same reason why you'd want the newest of anything. Stuff on the top gets out of date. Even in the context of a comment thread, I'd want the latest comment in the thread, etc.

Not to mention with threads you waste time reading things over and over again.

I don't want the global newest comment, but I do want the similar "comments newly added since I read the comments a few hours ago"
