I would really like to understand the “trending” algorithm. For example: My “Optimized Bed Scraper XL” is listed in the “Trending - All” category below many older entries which have fewer downloads, prints, likes and collects.
This seems to me to be exactly the opposite of a trending sort, but looks more like manual intervention or at least a large amount of “random”.
To better address this type of inquiry, it would greatly assist if you could include a screenshot illustrating your thought process. This ensures clarity and eliminates the need for individuals to conduct their own research. By sharing a visual aid, everyone can align their understanding and collaborate more effectively.
Thanks for your input!
So here is a screenshot of the “trending - all” list with a couple of entries. I marked my “Optimized Bed Scraper XL” with a yellow frame and all other entries which have been uploaded earlier and have fewer downloads, prints, likes and collects with a red dot. 8 from 12 entries meet this criteria. And there are more such entries if you scroll up the list.
Edit:
I accidentally pushed the bottom line with my bed scraper’s download numbers out of the browser window when I took the screenshot. At the time of the screenshot it had over 220 downloads.
It’s possible I may be mistaken, but to the best of my recollection, the 3D Printer Accessories category underwent deprioritization due to an inundation of items such as PTFE-clips, build plate aligners, waste buckets, purge covers, and z-axis covers. However, I cannot provide a specific reference to support this claim. It’s worth noting that the 4-to-1 splitter remains in the 3D printer parts category, suggesting that it may not be subject to the aforementioned rule changes.
Thanks for pointing out the splitter. As a test, I moved it to “Parts” and it immediately moved up from place 100 to place 22 in “Trending - all”.
