    This is also a cool comment! :-)
    It's perfectly okay if you don't understand the math. But let me try explaining as simple as I can:

    • UA is a derived metric (all the data is in the blockchain already).
    • The math behind my UserAuthority (UA) algorithm calculates how "popular" an account is, by taking into account who follows that account. And that's done automatically for every user in the entire Steem system.
    • not all follows are weighed equally
    • randomly clicking any user's follower list (who follows that user) is that follower's UserAuthority. So it is the probability a random click has to get to said account via its followers.

    Okidoki? Better? Better...
    (Otherwise, eat a Snickers! ;-) )

    Much better I get it! I love snickers by the way, eat 'em all the time. Very gracious of you to make this effort to explain, appreciate that as much as the explanation itself. Thank you.

    Everybody needs to understand in order to be capable of "judging" what I propose!
    I gradually updated my article with more explanations day by day. At first, people seemed afraid to comment (maybe afraid of looking like an idiot?). But the smartest people around, are the people asking questions by first outing they didn't understand.

    I get confused with cooking myself! Although my baked eggs are nice ... :-)
