Is this just cumulative? It seems to me that ordering by average score would be better, is Github simply pushed to the top for being low rank high volume?

- danielecook 8y agoIt is cumulative. I can probably add an option to view by average - but lots of domains pop up with only 1-2 stories that had lots of upvotes.
- Aardappel 8y agoThis seems a frequent problem. What is the most robust formula for sorting by average while boosting by frequency? Something like avg(ratings) * log(len(ratings)) ? Maybe that curve needs to be tweaked based on the use case ? I wish sites like amazon had something like this, since sorting by average rating is completely useless if you have a long tail.
