One thought: it is much easier now than it used to be to look at highly upvoted posts. In the old forum old popular posts simply fell by the wayside, now you can sort by them. We also now have the favourites section which encourages people to read highly upvoted posts they haven’t read yet.
So I think highly popular posts now look more popular than they really are compared to the past even according to your metric.
Also, I’m proud to say I guessed the most well received forum post according to your metric correctly!
This is really cool, thank you! :-)
