A bit of randomness, but also just a few adjustments to flatten out the curve to avoid a pure power law distribution. For example, if "scores" are divided like [1500, 800, 300, 20, 15, 13] we divide the love something like [6,5,4,3,2,1], where the person with "13" gets 1/6th the attention as opposed to 1/115th.
The implementation doesn't reflect this exactly but that's the idea.
This is currently only for new users, but we'll be making this info more discoverable throughout other parts of the site as well. We're hesitant to put out straight leaderboards unless we did it tastefully. We wouldn't want to make it too much of a competition. So that's why we take our time with these sorts of things.

Is this for new joiners only?

Most Interested subject could also be calculated by my user patterns :)
