I think “this comment makes the thread subtly worse given opportunity costs of reading time” is really important, and I really want a 1 or 2-word handle for it.
Edit: Options, which potentially work but each 1-word loss of nuance seems to matter quite a bit:
“Hmm. This comment makes the thread subtly worse.”
Usually the situation is that it’s adding value, but also reducing a (different form of) value. (And in some cases I think it’s locally adding more value than it’s destroying, but I expect it to divert the thread in a direction that is longterm net negative)
