i think a radical paradigm shift might help here:

make publishers manually add links to responses and discussions that they wish to elevate.

one interesting model for this that i’ve seen is a site where every article contains in its footer an email address, and if you have something to add to the conversation, you email that address, after which the author *might* manually add your comment for everyone else to see.

this also discourages responding to a comment instead of to the article.

Documenting a prediction: This will receive an Ig Nobel in 2025.

Certainly is of the ilk of “achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think.”
