It varies, but you’re both right. Depends on the sub, depends on the post. In terms of the userface here on kbin, what I see lacking is a way to make a chain disappear because that mini-thread doesn’t interest me. Old.reddit would let you collapse a particular comment thread, or make all child comments hidden unless called for.

I think that’s the real crux of the matter: you can’t stop it from happening, and how viral things go viral is simply beyond your control, if your interests do not lie with the majority, but there should be a way around it, accessible to the masses (like a userscript is nice but I’m saying it should be part of the base package, as it likely will be, given time), for more people to adopt this as a true alternative.
