RE: Oh no!! The trending page is being Ransacked by Rich Gremlins!!!
Well said. Personally, I’ve been trying to figure out what the difference is between the ‘trending’ page and the ‘hot’ page.
There doesn’t seem to be any logic or rationale in the algorithms.
What purpose do either of these have?
Not knowing these things, I think, has freed me from giving a toss about them. Lol.
In this case, I guess the old idiom ‘ignorance is bliss’ works for me because I can just get on with creation and sharing.
(Not to say I don’t want to understand all the rules of the game we’re all playing)
Thanks for the post, buds.
Hey there bud... well the way its supposed to work (not that it does) is that Hot is for the posts with lots of interaction, more upvotes and more comments... and Trending has the most payouts pending...
To me the solution is get rid of the Hot label.. use that algorithm for trending, maybe optimize it a bit (it does not work as good as it should) and leave the Promoted Tab for posts that have been upvoted using bot services...
That makes sense to me..
I know you don't cry foul about this stuff, you are here to put out some great music and ignore the noise.. but I get DM's about this stuff a little too often to not rant about it! hahahha
Oh I see! Thanks for removing the obfuscation for me on it. It's clear now.
Jeez! I reckon get rid of the 'trending' one instead then.
Interaction is far more important. The payouts aspect is just the bonus.
The idea of putting the botvoted posts into the 'promoted' tab is a salient one.
Omg I just started writing about this lol
