I loved Reddit for what it is, but nothing made me back out of a post faster than seeing the top 3 parent threads as a regurgitation of the same inside jokes, pun-chains, and so on.

    I think as time goes on, I’d assume the recency boost would subside and the upvotes for the definitive answers should float back to the top.

    Also, length is probably favoured as well, since so many top content isn’t just 3 words.
