I‘m also quite certain that, with more karma, comments stay at the top longer. Cannot say much about submissions.

- slg 6y agoI have seen anecdotal evidence of this too. I have noticed some of my comments have not been upvoted and yet have stuck higher in the rankings than comments that I know have received upvotes because I upvoted them myself. Although dang has stated that account karma doesn't impact the ranking algorithm so who knows. Either way, it seems obvious there is something more complex than a simple formula based on upvotes and post age.
