Sample Comments
The topic is not quality but popularity.
Popularity may suggest that it is not a bad idea.
Popularity doesn't necessarily imply a need.
You could say it is "popularity", yes
popular ones must be better - otherwise why would they be popular?
What's popularity got to do with it?
Well of course it does. Popularity is a side effect.
Popularity isn't always an indicator of what is interesting.
Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's right.
General popularity (or lack thereof) would be my guess :)
