Great work, and well-presented findings. I'm really excited to see this in the wild.

- onos 4y agoAgreed. One aspect I’d like to understand better is how the dynamics will change. Eg today a highly popular post can stay up for a whole day. I get the sense that the new algo may flush things through more rapidly: Consider two posts, with upvote rates p1 and p2 with p1 =2p2. That is the first is twice as good as the second. Now if the second post is half as old as the first it would actually have about 2x the score of the first, despite being half as good. This suggests more quality posts will get a chance to sit on the front page but each may stay less time — if so this would exacerbate the OP’s concern.
