Super difficult I know... as it is very subjective. I think some metrics might be possible though - originality (lack of similarity to previous post content/subjects), plagiarism index (have they just copy pasted from reference docs?), subject uniqueness (is this the umpteenth 'let, var, const' post? If so, is it somehow different? Although determining a subject could be tricky), frecency (how much are people looking at it, how old is it), etc.

Right now it largely feels like 'newest or most clickbaity wins' - which isn't ideal.
