Why is the comment form at the bottom of the thread instead of the top? (kbin.social)

I can completely understand wanting to differentiate from Reddit, but to me, this is a matter of convenience and priority. Putting right after the article implies commenting on the article is emphasized. Putting it at the bottom of the comment page implies a want to comment on the comments.

Maybe there's a reason I'm not seeing here? Am I just dumb?

For all the people who say it's better and you like it that way. I would suggest having a link at the top to skip to the bottom comments, or vice-versa. Not all threads are philosophy. Sometimes you know the answer to the OP's Q. Or you have something to contribute without the luxury of reading.

Why not put the comment box at the top and the bottom.

Weirdly, the comment is at the top at I type this. But I do remember is being at the bottom.
