Are reviews and comments weighted as upvotes?

Question

I looked through the PH docs to see if they had anything. But couldn't find anything.

I guess I am wondering how they rank product of the day. I see products with much less upvotes ranking higher that others with more upvotes.

hmm, ranking isn't just about upvotes, it's a blend of multiple signals.

upvotes are just one piece of the engagement puzzle.

comments and reviews can indicate deep interactions, which might weigh heavily.

the algorithm likely takes into account factors like timing, momentum, and user quality.

the idea isn't just to spotlight the 'most upvoted,' but to highlight what's genuinely interesting.

algorithms evolve, so, take note but don't obsess.

instead, focus on creating something people can't help but talk about. if you strike the right chord, you'll rise, regardless of the metrics game.
