Maybe I'm just stupid, but I feel like scoring by "attention" would subject comments to the same top-sticking, accelerating feedback loop. No?

- KajMagnus 14y agoYou would divide by attention, not multiply :-) It could perhaps be done like so: `(upvotes - downvotes) / attention` (where attention = an estimate of the number of people who read the comment and voted on something)
- alexvr 14y agoGotcha. I thought he proposed simply substituting hits/attention for upvotes
