A high ratio of upvotes to comments is generally a sign of a high quality HN submission. It means that most people don't feel the need to add anything or argue about it. If we're going to throw around accusations of being a "degenerate", I think it fits better on people who can't stop themselves from commenting even if they have nothing useful to say.
im kidding lol. its just a funny observation. its kinda like if you like it then its good to know the educational value of it for future reference. im always suspicious of high upvote to low comment ratios so i like it when users call it out.
Upvoting is for recognising that something is worth sharing to other users.
Commenting is for discussion.
These are orthogonal, mutually exclusive matters.
