It blends recent upvotes, saves, follows, ratings and real click-throughs with the reputation invested in the product, which decays like an upvote. Recent activity counts for more and scores fade as a product goes dormant, and no single signal can dominate. Higher PBS ranks higher on the leaderboard.
