That's like someone telling you the majority of ingredients that they put into something you're supposed to eat, but not that one ingredient.
It's either their secret super sauce or it's poison.
And I can tell you for free that whatever Reddit has built technologically, does not contain any secret super sauce whatsoever.
- chme 9y agoI sort of get reddits reason to hold the post ranking algorithm secret. So that it is hard to game it. Until there is a way to easy 're-key' such an algorithm if someone found a way to abuse it, holding it secret is the best solution for them. I currently can't think of a better solution to avoid gaming of ranking algorithms than holding it secret and changing/adapting it often. Maybe some machine learning algorithm?
