If you've ever read about the original PageRank algorithm, the parent post is a pretty reasonable way to describe it.
I have no idea what the current algorithm looks like but I'd be shocked if it somehow switched to evaluating the 'quality' of content, however one might do that with an algorithm.

I suspect more, eg writing style measurements, correlated with other things that are found useful. There is a lot that could be done without actually understanding the content, although if course it can be gamed.
