| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | The sources carry no usable publish times, so the rate could not be measured from them directly. |
| Freshness | 0.20 | 0.18 | +0.035 8% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
