What is the topic of a comment?
Some hypotheses: 1. It’s not contained in the comment itself, it’s something about the comment, in the context of the conversational tree it’s in. 2. There’s not just one "topic".... There is definitely a conflation with facts vs opinions between "I trust this info" and I "I personally like this." I also think a crushing majority don’t really know the difference and will "trust" things they want/hope are true, rather than what they bet is true....
