I prefer to call it "Sort by Popularity."
- mc32 5y agoI don’t like that measure because popularity doesn’t translate into “good”. What’s the most popular office pen? Papermate, Bic? I may be looking for more quality. What’s the most popular hotel in some city? Maybe I’m looking for location or other aspects other than popularity among college kids.
- dfabulich 5y agoWhen you use the OP article's formula, you're sorting by popularity. You may choose not to sort by popularity, but when you use it, you should call it sorting by "popularity."
- Linosaurus 5y agoPopularity could also mean number of purchases/downloads/clicks. With no regard for review scores. Or at least it is unclear to me.
