Hi all,

Asaf and I wanted to shed some light about the recent (and final) changes that we recently made to the site.

First of all, an explanation about the Most Recent page. Like we wrote in the previous post on the day we released this new system, videos are released to the Most Recent page within 3 hours from the moment of submission to the site. However, this no longer means your video will appear in our top lists immediately.

In order to appear on the Highest Rated, Most Discussed, and Most Viewed pages, your video still needs to have a minimum amount of ranks (which has been drastically reduced by half) and a minimum amount of views. This is to make sure that the videos have been ranked by a variety of people, thus ensuring the rank is the rank chosen by the community, and not the first few people who viewed it.

This means that although your video hits the Most Recent page MUCH quicker, it still needs to work hard to get to the top pages. Don’t forget that for each video of yours that is waiting to get to the Top Videos, so are many others, so you are not losing your chances of appearing on those pages for up to 48 hours, like before.
