One story is that people are more willing to read long comments from Yvain or Eliezer because they have reputations for being insightful.
I think this is probably true, and I have seen cases where e.g. Eliezer is highly upvoted for a certain comment, and some other person little or not at all for basically the same insight in a different case.
However, it also seems to me that their long comments do tend to be especially insightful in fact.
