I don't want to train readers to unhide things by default just because they might miss intelligent conversation in subthreads

Another way of doing this would be a five second delay to unhide hidden comments. Waiting isn't fun and it prevents hyperbolic discounting from magnifying the positive reinforcement of reading something that someone doesn't want you to read.

This is a really good idea. It's incentivizing, noncoercive, and could possibly even have the look-and-feel of ordinary site delay rather than censorship and avoid getting people's hackles up.
