Makerworld bugged? Download and design non visibility

I realised that after the recent update that my recent posted design are not getting proper views and download.

5 to 6 of my latest creations are getting 1 or even 0 download. I have over 2700 followers and i do regularly make pretty useful stuff and its the 1st time i am experiencing such level of downloads.

I dont usually have such a poor respond to my designs, its as if its being pushed to the bottom of the ocean lacking visibility. And without visibility there is surely not going to be a good download amount since people cannot even find it.

Previously when i upload say a poop bin for the A1 mini the 1st day i got over 50 downloads and so on. Now that i have launched 3 poop bin tray for the A1 and few days later 3 of them total download count of just 1?? I am pretty sure the download count is bugged.

Also if u see this particular poop chute. Number of print 1. Number of download 0? Eh how did that even worked out? Its not lagging for sure. Been like this for more than 24 hours. How do someone print it when he didnt download it?

I am not sure if anyone else is experiencing this. Non visibility and distorted figures for downloads. Did anyone experience this too?

Also @Tanklet is makerworld going to add functions like allowing a creator to notify followers that a new design have been uploaded so people are in sync with the creator newer design uploads?

Also dont worry about the product icon with the word fast print. I am aware of the new rule and i am actively changing it.

I believe that, rather than focusing on the download and click data of one’s own work, it is better to concentrate on improving the quality of the work and enhancing the depth of the chosen topics. If you are confident that you have achieved the best in a specific field, you don’t need to worry about superficial data issues.

The download counter works normally.
I just tried to download these model with 2 different account.

Hmm strange then i cannot figure out how that guy printed my poop bin without add 1 to the download count.

I am pretty confident in my work. Of course i am not near any perfect master of CAD but i do know my market and i have worked hard to create and publish and spread awareness for my designs but the download counts really come as shocking to me haha. I really thought its a bug or something. Of course i do not make useless designs and i am proud of my work, a perfectionist at heart.

I am still quite inclined to believe that visibility of my designs have been reduced. Personally even when i tried to find my design in MW using keywords i cannot find them. This have never happened to me pre update. I have always been able to find my design rather easily.

The search is broken and will not be fixed within the next 3 weeks, see my corresponding thread. You won’t find your designs and neither will others.
