Some seem to get automatic boosts and perhaps some get programmed dampening.

I don't know the algorithms and they may be perfectly explainable. I do sense that the timing (what hour in the day) plays a big part.

Some posters may be on other members 'Subscribe' list and automatically get brought to attention.

In any case, thanks for this post. Another example of fiddling with algorithms to achieve some desired goals.
