Why is Trending so broken?
I was talking to my family about it over dinner, and I couldn't explain it very well to my brother, so can you explain for me? I can't really describe it.

There's nothing on the wiki, and nobody knows the algorithm.
It's quite a mysterious page.
Also, make sure you mention the famous exploit.

because there's no great way to appeal to everyone without becoming a huge data collection company
disclaimer: sometimes my posts are pretty critical of the scratch team (especially my older ones), but i really do scratch & scratch team. jvvg made a short essay thing about the scratch team, which is a pretty good read, if you want a different perspective for the scratch team's actions.

Yeah, how are we so sure it's “broken” if we don't even know how it works in the first place?
This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

I've seen a lot of suggestions trying to fix it and other people ranting about it. Yeah, how are we so sure it's “broken” if we don't even know how it works in the first place?

Well it's definitely working differently to how it used to work, so it's either an accidental or deliberate change.
If it's an accidental change, then it's definitely “broken”, if it's a deliberate change, I urge the scratch team to look at the trending pages and the state of some of the projects on them, and ask themselves is the change having the effect they thought it would.

How do you know it's not working properly if we don't know how it works at all?

Because before you could always find a recent project if you scroll down enough pages, but now *some* newly released projects with hundreds of views and hearts don't appear at all in the list no matter how far down you scroll. The same projects are searchable if you search by project name, (however they are not appearing in the list in the correct position), but the same projects are NOT searchable by the author's name, when they should be.
All this is new behaviour that wasn't happening a few months ago.

I think it was a deliberate change, where now when you reshare a project it resets the share dateYeah, how are we so sure it's “broken” if we don't even know how it works in the first place?

The problems I'm describing aren't about resharing.
Although it is possible they were caused by a poor attempt at solving the resharing issue.
