This is actually a different algorithm from the ‘best’ comment sort, so we are still debating the name!
Well are you trying to mask the purpose with some general name like 'best'? It's pretty clearly your take on a 'personalized' feed. This has been a contentious discussion subject over the past few years mostly regarding facebook's personalized feeds, so it might be above-board to call it what it is. Bundling personalized sorting (what one user sees as popular isn't the same as anyone else) with freshness churn and other tweaks and slapping a 'best' label on the bundle just seems a little underhanded (unless people actually respond favorably this time with the tweaks).
There's nothing here!
