"1. Skewed data: The vast majority of comments have very few votes, hence there will be many comments with ratios near the extremes (see the \"triangular plot\" in the above Kaggle dataset), effectively skewing our distribution to the extremes. One could try to only use comments with votes greater than some threshold. Again, problems are encountered.

"2. Biased data: Reddit is composed of different subpages, called subreddits. Two examples are *r/aww*, which posts pics of cute animals, and *r/politics*. It is very likely that the user behaviour towards comments of these two subreddits are very different: visitors are likely friendly and affectionate in the former, and would therefore upvote comments more, compared to the latter, where comments are likely to be controversial and disagreed upon. Therefore not all comments are the same. \n",
