If people don't like something, I think the motivation to act is more than if they do like something or are neutral. Human nature. People will downvote a headline with positive comments on something they don't like. But what do they do with a negative headline about something they don't like ? I guess they will upvote it to show they also don't like it. So negative wins. "ran GPT-4 sentiment analysis on full article text."
I think most people vote based on headlines, not on article text. |

I went with full article text because I wanted to capture what the content actually delivers, not just what the headline promises. A clickbait negative headline with a balanced article would skew results if I only looked at titles.
That said, you've got me thinking. It would be interesting to run sentiment on headlines separately and compare. If headline sentiment correlates strongly with article sentiment, your point stands. If they diverge, there might be something interesting about the gap between promise and delivery.
Might be a good follow-up analysis. Thanks for pushing on this.
