This is Reddit so probably by upvotes?

  Yeah but I also wonder how many people filter/read new and vote vs. just asking whatever... if they could average the questions that would be interesting/frequency of mentions... anyway be curious what questions are asked. ~600 comments under an hour? dang edit: oh comments are randomly ordered interesting

    More-upvoted comments float up. That's how Reddit works.

    To expand on your edit: 1. This comment thread shows comments in random order, so you're not seeing the more upvoted questions bubble to the top the way they usually would, which prevents winner-takes-all feedback loops in the voting. 2. People browsing through the thread may upvote good questions, but currently the scores are hidden in order to avoid bias. 3. Once the thread has been up for a while, the people doing the AMA can just re-sort to show the highest-voted comments first, which will give a good starting point for which questions to answer.

      Yeah I'm glad they did that. The score hidden thing is interesting, I see some people do that at will, I'm a person affected by down votes haha like "oh no someone disagreed with me" anyway... pretty cool.
