While I really enjoy the highlights feature, I believe it’s flawed in that it seems to arbitrarily pick replies to highlight and it can completely miss significant developments in a thread/stick a large, informational posts in between a sea of jokes and hot takes. I think the best solution would be to add an identical feature called “updates” which allows thread OPs, mods, and maybe select users to manually mark important replies as updates, so users can sift through 100s of page long threads and only see the most relevant, impactful replies. While I definitely think highlights still has a place and should not be changed, I do believe having a feature specifically designed to highlight high quality replies which are human curated would really improve the quality and accessibility of the site.
