I'm not sure if the quantity of replies is necessarily a problem, but those don't sound like helpful things to link to.
I agree it's not a core issue in itself, but think it could still be important. It could also be that a well done study, that properly explained...
Just so people know, comments complaining about a post being rubbish will still be interpreted by social media platforms as 'interest' and so lead...
