 Listen man, I don't know what's up with you today but you're being extremely hostile for no reason. I'm not masking any bullshit and the code I'm referring to that I linked to is all open source. You can see for yourself that there's no big bad secret. I didn't even write the thing, I'm just telling you about it. 

"Algorithm" here just means "processes", not "evil social media voodoo". I'm just saying that a bunch of data is combined to generate content rankings from your point of view. That's "an algorithm"
