that's the thing - not all new comments are high-quality either.
There's a balance between new and popular (so number of upvotes over time for example). But the problem is that you need to constantly change the scale with your userbase. For a site with 10,000 users, (number of upvotes / number of hours post was created) may work, but a site with 1 million users may need to use a factor of 10, a site with 100 million users may need a log scale, etc.
