Does it adjust the karma for when the post was posted? Or does it adjust for when the karma was given/taken?
For example: The post with the highest inflation-adjusted karma was posted 2014, and had 70 upvotes out of 69 total votes in 2019 and now sits at 179 upvotes out of 125 total votes. Does the inflation adjustment consider that the average size of a vote after 2019 was around 2?
It’s just the posted-at date of the post, and makes no attempt to adjust for when the karma was given. So if something has stayed a classic for much longer than its peers, it will rank highly on this metric.
That’s very cool!
