👉 Trackback math is a system used in web commenting to measure the influence or popularity of comments. When a commenter responds to another comment, this response is counted as a "trackback," and the number of trackbacks for a comment indicates its popularity or relevance within the conversation. Trackback math assigns weights to these responses based on factors like the commenter's reputation, the number of comments they've made, or the length of their response, giving more significant trackbacks higher weights. This helps identify which comments are most influential or valuable in the discussion, often reflected in metrics like total trackbacks, upvotes, or engagement rates.
