If the comment depth is 3 or more, reply links are withheld until the comments age a while. The amount of aging is a function of the depth. You can get around it by clicking on the comment's timestamp to go to its own page.
Is there a reason for the workaround? Like, it's a super secret way for gurus to avoid the friction?
Presumably the feature is there to avoid low effort replies to bait. Just about any amount of friction is good enough to make most people give up in that use case.
