I've read something more of the opposite before: posts with lots of comments risk being down weighted unless they've received a lot of upvotes. Supposedly something to do with wanting to avoid lower value content which is attracting a large amount of discussion anyways.

I've never heard of anything of this nature regarding comments though.

Their down weighted method is odd.

It causes stories to essentially die. I saw one get upvotes which turned into going lower down the list until it fell off.
