Yes! I hated that on reddit. I would sometimes have a cool thing to add, but because the thread was 8 hours old and had a thousand comments already, virtually no one would see it. There were some exceptions: on TV episode discussions sometimes they'd use new/contest mode default sorting for the thread and you didn't feel like you were shouting into a void.
The hack on reddit used to be to hijack a top comment. Post something vaguely related to that comment, then add whatever you wanna add. It's silly that this was required at all.
