My model was at spot 3 in 30 day trending late last night when I got to bed after a very fast climb and still going very strong.
But today, just 9 hours later, it is completely gone from the list. No trace of it. It is a new model just uploaded 2 days ago. Does Makerworld actively moderate that list?
They said:
I am sorry for your confusion. About the trending models, we would like to let you know that it is calculated by updating the number of likes, searches, prints, downloads, upload time, and other information
Im curious about that other information. But soon after my model re-emerged at second place. So i highly doubt that it all of a sudden lost all users interest.
Exactly my thought. I suspect that they moderate it. Mine was pretty simple and honestly booring, but became popular since its practical. When i started asking questions it came back, as if they where trying to stop me from snooping around, haha.
Anyhow. I think all serious designer would prefer if they where honest about it. @MakerWorld
I’ve had that happed to several of my models too. They were in the top couple models then poof, gone. Weird thing is it didn’t seem to have that big of an effect on the amount of downloads after it disappeared from the trending for some reason. I just figured they let you have a few days at the top of the trending then move them out to let someone else have a chance.
