Usability and resource efficiency using comment relevance

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a non-transitory machine-readable medium embodying a set of instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• for each one of a plurality of user-generated content for an online post on a social networking service, receiving corresponding member feature data and corresponding comment feature data, each one of the plurality of user-generated content having been authored by a corresponding commenter, the member feature data comprising professional identity data of a member of the social networking service and indicating at least one of a professional experience of the member and a professional skill of the member, the corresponding comment feature data comprising a length of the corresponding one of the plurality of user-generated content;
• for each one of the plurality of user-generated content, generating a corresponding score based on the corresponding member feature data and the corresponding comment feature data, the corresponding comment feature data on which the generating of the corresponding score is based including the length of the corresponding user-generated content, the generating of the corresponding score comprises applying a minimum length threshold or applying a maximum length threshold, the applying of the minimum length threshold comprising decreasing the corresponding score based on the corresponding user-generated content having fewer than a minimum number of words, and the applying of the maximum length threshold comprising decreasing the corresponding score based on the corresponding user-generated content having more than a maximum number of words;
• ranking the plurality of user-generated content based on the generated scores;
• and
• causing at least one of the plurality of user-generated content to be displayed in a position in a user interface of a computing device of the member based on the ranking of the at least one of the plurality of user-generated content, the position in which the at least one of the plurality of user-generated content is displayed being determined based on, at least in part, the corresponding length of the at least one of the plurality of user-generated content.
