LOL, you're still on the Hot section, but down to page 13 by now. But it's 4 hours now, so I'm a bit late.
Don't get me wrong, but you've already managed to grow quite rapidly. Which is great work, but that also makes it easier to end up in the hot or trending tab.
I completely understand what you're trying to do here, don't take my comments as criticism.
It's just my own experience I'm voicing here, and I am not so arrogant to think I'm very different from the majority of people.
It is a real shame we have no reports about the views on the different tabs, that would help to determine how important it is to be in one or the other tab.
Guess we'll just have to wait for the communities, see which changes those introduce.
Really? I don't even check the hot tab these days if I'm still there. Though, I get to check 'Freedom', 'Animals', 'Nature' trending page sometimes, and I was a little bit below those popular bloggers there lol.
I'm also not very different from the majority, but I try to help as much as I can, especially to fellow writers. I've read a lot of really good posts of my followers and I just want them to make a decision for what's best for them.
Anyway, the writers help the investors in return by providing good content to keep the platform (safe for their money), and the investors are helping the writers by promoting their posts (not just monetary reward). So if I have the choice atm, I will invest straight away. It's win-win for everyone.
Let's wait, what's gonna change in the upcoming months.
