How to solve the problem that the topmost comments...
Maybe I'm just stupid, but I feel like scoring by "attention" would subject comments to the same top-sticking, accelerating feedback loop. No?

You would divide by attention, not multiply :-) It could perhaps be done like so: `(upvotes - downvotes) / attention` (where attention = an estimate of the number of people who read the comment and voted on
something
)
