"For example in an online forum, the most up-voted posts may be shown on at the top of the page." In the culture of the internet prior to 2010, usually whatever was the most recent post would get the the top spot, and I believe the internet culture at the time was more decentralised and people congregated around certain topics to only discuss that topic. I think this is what is missing from the modern day internet (in part due to the combination of reddit and algorithmic attention seekers), in that people do not talk about the same things to the same people in real life. People usually keep their friends in different groups and talk about different things to each other, and they talk about whatever they want to think about.
