this is a wonderful topic that i have always kinda wondered about informally. a slightly adjacent question ive had is how much does the rank of a post feeback into votes. my assumption is that the higher the ranking, the higher the absolute number of votes the ranking itself (independent from the actual article) generates. coupling some kind of way of compensating for that with your historical inflation adjustment would give you a fairly uniform metric for gauging public reception to submissions i think.
