Unfortunately I think the list may be misleading. One of the questions listed there actually has +1012 / -2001 in terms of anonymous feedback:
(Presumably it’s in the greatest hits list because people anonymously upvoted its answers, but still.)
This image is from the post feedback 10k tool, more specifically the “least helpful” of all time list. These pages are very similar to the greatest hits page, but they are easier to understand and are also more powerful: they can show you what posts were anonymously upvoted/downvoted today (but not how many anon votes were cast) instead of just things that have been collecting Google votes for almost a decade.
That's a good find and a useful concept. The small selection I looked at could be termed 'questions saved by good answers', but they really were good saves.
Difference between “résumé” and “CV”, for example, goes beyond "they're synonyms". I might have known the difference once, but if I did, I'd relegated that knowledge to the dusty archives.
The latest question I found was dated 21/3/2019: What is the English pronunciation of “pain au chocolat”?. It was worth browsing just for the humorous reference to "panno chocolate".
I'd be happy for Stack Exchange to link to the page from the menus - perhaps in the hamburger on the right, just below the link to EL&U Meta. Some filters to sort by date, views, votes and so on would be helpful, as would a flag to search just within the 'greatest hits'.
As a community, we have tended to focus on the quality of questions, or the lack thereof. These examples give us a balancing side: finding diamonds in the rough and posting answers that showcase points of interest. These are the kinds of pages that make EL&U an interesting site, particularly for the more established users.
Thanks for posting the link.
