You might remember this post where I asked about how sorting by “Hot” gives you a lot of new posts that were posted in quick succession, making it look like “New”.
I was recommend by a few to use “Scaled”, so recently I did. Except this felt even worse: I saw new posts that were posted in succession with 0 upvotes, one having 1 upvote.
Isn’t this weird? Or am I doing it wrong?
If you want a bit more detail, look at my edit. The functions to calculate the hot and scaled for content is now there.
