    Firehose describes it well, some people are wordy and type a lot (I'm guilty) so maybe a comment character limit might improve readability?

    I find it hard to maintain my focus, it updates too quickly to finish reading a comment before the next one pushes it out of place.

      If you scroll back, the auto-scrolling disables. Or at least it should...

        Ooh nice feature, I hadn't realized this before. Thank you!

      Similar to https://news.ycombinator.com/newcomments on autorefresh?

      Because it is “shit” I assumed you would filter to downvotes comments :-)

        Yes, though it includes submissions too. The items are too new to have any downvotes, but being so new you might catch some detritus that hasn't been killed yet.
