You're just farming more downvotes by clearly being affected by them and then complaining about them.

If this is how you respond to pointless vote counts, I would avoid revisiting comments after you leave them for the sake of your mental health.

> Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

> Please don't submit comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills.

I didn't leave a downvote, but that sounds like a horrible policy. You'd get a ton of short comments on the least-valuable (as judged by voters) comments, bloating the comment tree and making it way less readable.

It is fortunate, not unfortunate, that YouTube prevents editing of the video itself after a video has been uploaded, viewed, interacted with, shared, commented on, and started to accumulate karma of various sorts.

Like Reddit comments with a thousand edits after they become popular.

Vimeo does have such a feature. The ability to do such could be based on karma on YouTube.
