What I mean is, the 1 in 50 has more upvotes per view meaning it's higher quality

Views count nothing except maybe a tiebreaker. Anyone can view a meme over and over.

Ok

If they have the same upvotes: then the one with more views would be higher, I assume.

Yes, but think about it this way: a meme with 50 views and 5 upvotes would be better, because 1 in 10 people that saw the meme upvoted it.but if it had 150 views and 5 upvotes that would mean only 1 in 30 people upvoted it.

I guess they sort by comments if upvotes are the same

Go away lewis. If you're attempting to start again your reputation on another account I won't tell anyone, but you aren't getting mod

I'm not lewis! Lewis is one of those ugly fake weebs!

Hello Lewis!

So you think the algorithm counts those who *don't* vote? I suppose it's possible; but why bother?
