Hopefully the answer you came up with is something like "Because the comments are so insightful and humanly written that people just can't stop themselves from upvoting them", right? :)
(To be honest, I saw your github and saw your about and "Multi-disciplined software developer, some even call me a polymath." I think I also remembered before you changed your about me HN page that you actually talked about being a polymath in your HN about me as well. So I ended up thinking damn this guy's good at everything he does xD )
