Interesting, I remember someone on /r/slatestarcodex having the idea to rate/sort reddit comments by that metric, which I dub "sort by should-be-uncontroversial" (because normally-disagreeing people all think it's correct).

(Then again, it almost might incentivize politician-style vacuous/feel-good statements.)

They for sure would since there's a word for that: demagoguery.

Then those of us who hate "politician-style vacuous/feel-good statements" would down-rate them.

Yeah, but that does nothing on Reddit. Those "politician-style vacuous/feel-good statements" are already highly upvoted there.
