Have you considered making the website actually show the comments instead of pinning yourself on every large post?

Hackernews has very few staff and most of them are busy with administration/moderation.

I agree kind of odd to see pinned posts by Dang but I have a feeling that's the best they can do with the resources at hand.

Given that they specifically introduced pagination to avoid issues caused by too-large single pages, probably yes. (tbh I would have passive-agressively made the "next" link 100px Comic Sans, but it's probably a good thing I'm not responsible for that)

Yes, but I don't want this temporary state to get too comfortable because it's not the desired solution:

"Every large post" is an exaggeration, of course—I probably do this on fewer than 10% of the paginated threads.
