Done and done. I do like the idea of running lots of algorithms and storing additional columns of data (which would allow a relatively quick switch (in the code) to see different attempts). Overall, this might be quicker than waiting a week at a time to implement different possible approaches.

I don't know how easy it is to add an additional database column with associated ranking algorithm though. It's one thing to think that it sounds straightforward enough but very different to implement it on Steemit's codebase 😆
