ISTR reading an article about how reddit’s “best” sorting worked, and I would have described it roughly like that.
Aha, see http://www.evanmiller.org/how-not-to-sort-by-average-rating.html via https://redditblog.com/2009/10/15/reddits-new-comment-sorting-system/. I, uh, don’t actually understand it. It’s possible I read the text and made up a thing that seemed like it would do something like what the text sounded like it did.
