Day #15 of a "highly dynamic" marketplace.

Hey @aandreug , is this even normal?

Are likes the main deciding factor? Because I think there's clearly an algorithm problem. The top of the marketplace has barely changed in over two weeks.

New @framer Marketplace algo sucks.

I keep seeing the same templates I saw 2 weeks ago. The algo doesn't feel dynamic at all.

Idk if this is because of likes, but if they actually decide ranking, that's a really bad system. Why? Because likes cost nothing. Anyone can create a bunch of new accounts and spam likes on random templates. The templates already at the top will naturally keep getting even more likes.

By the time a template ranked #1000 gets 10 likes, a top template will probably get another 100, and the gap just keeps getting bigger.

I'm a strong believer that customers should vote with money. A template that generates more revenue should move up, and one that doesn't should move down. The marketplace is for customers, not for thousands of botted accounts. Likes should do nothing more than give a temporary boost at best.

I can't even imagine how a great new template is supposed to compete when the top ones already have 300+ botted likes after less than a month.

What's the point of me creating a new template if I could just spend that time creating new accounts and liking my existing templates?

And even if the Framer team says likes don't decide the ranking (which I highly doubt), the marketplace clearly has an algo problem if the top templates barely move after 2 weeks.

Hear me out.
@framer marketplace.

1) Not all-time featured. But a weekly highlight.
Nepotism is not cool.

2) E-commerce logic.
Order templates by (all both ways from most/least):
- remixes
- likes
- price
- date added

3) Allow filtering. No of unique pages/functions
