    Bridge-based ranking is a way to score = and rank content by adjusting for user polarization. The algorithm works by=
    attempting to model why content receives the reactions it gets and then co= rrecting for bias. It can cancel out the effects of bias. This article expl= ains Bridge-Based Ranking and shows how and why it works. Bridge-based rank= ing allows communities to self-moderate by preventing influence from user p= olarization.
