I don't understanding how post ranking works. At the time of writing the ChatGPT announcement has the following stats:
- 833 points | 10 hours ago | 652 comments | 2nd
And this post the following:
- 432 points 5 hours ago | 155 comments | 6th
Also interesting is that the EA CoC post has the following stats:
- 828 points | 12 hours ago | 222 comments | 13th
Subjective opinion: the comments here are mostly positive, the comments over there is a bit of a mix. I _feel_ that it's not quite justified as with many recent posts.
The rule I have read a lot recently says if a post gets a lot of comments relative to opints then it can get flagged/deranked. Is it the number of parent comments/replies as well, does it depend on the author and commenter's points, the rate at which points and comments occur, etc.?
- consumer451 2y agoA lot could be said about this. Mostly there are algorithmic factors, and in some cases there are human fingers on the scales. > I don't understanding how post ranking works. The system is working as intended. Also, one of the rules of HN club: don't talk about the rules of HN club.
