Understanding Bridge-Based Ranking
Introduction Bridge-Based Ranking is an alternative way to score and rank content by adjusting for user polarization. The most successful implementation of Bridge-Based Ranking, X’s Community Notes, explains that the algorithm favors notes that are rated highly by users across a “diversity of perspectives”. But as I show in this article, ratings from users with diverse perspectives are not necessary for a note to rank highly. It is somewhat more accurate to say that the note must be highly rated regardless of diversity of perspective.
