BTW... A few days ago I browsed through all comments I had posted in the past few months, and it looks like most of the comments that weren't well received back then have since been upvoted to +1 to +3. How comes?

Damned if I know.

What's more frustrating is getting upvotes, but they're not for recent comments. I'd really like to know what's attracting attention. And get notifications for comments on my posts.

Being new here, I've upvoted some comments on the original Sequences posts that were particularly insightful. Some of them were much more recent than the posts but probably still a year or two old. I did this under the assumption that other new people may be liable to read only the highly-rated comments on those original posts.

This is more likely to be a good model of how people's reading habits work on newer posts than on old Sequence posts. Posts imported from Overcoming Bias have the comments in chronological order.

Yes. I don't even pay attention to the last two digits in my total karma score anymore.
