Omg, I was just scrolling when I found my vampire tsukihina fic rank in 3rd for #hinataashouyou??? Quite confused cause like I still literally have less than 500 views and even less votes so I was like: is this riiight?? Have they been mistaken??
Hmm, now that I think about it, I really wanna know how this ranking system works now with respective tags
Like, does it judge based on the number of views? Doubtful, since there’s like thousands of views for stories in much lower rankings compared to my hundreds, yet somehow reached 3rd place for some reason??
Maybe based on votes? But I think that also goes by the same paradox as with the view count
Personally, what if they just calculate it based on the number of clicks on a story? I can’t say for sure if they have an algorithm running like that in this app but it seems the most likely candidate rn?
Tho y’know what would be quite funny— that everyone who reaches a caliber of peaking gets to have their turn in getting a high ranking taking turns giving this person 1st place and then that person 4th place and then another in 2nd! That’d be fun cause then the system treats everyone equally~
