Anyone else think that the featured pages are kind of misplaced and some good levels that take lots of effort are put in the 4th or 5th page while levels that have much copy paste and or not much effort are put in the first page? Here's an example:
Devil Gameboy v2 by Dragun: At one point 1st Page, now 2nd Page Optimus by Dawn: 5th PAGE
and look at the quality of those two:
Devil Gameboy v2: lots of Copy Paste and Light BG usage, looks like it was made in a day (in my opinion) Optimus: Lots of different unique styles that look great (once again in my opinion)
and it's definitely not just these two levels. You guys are free to tell me any two that you think should be swapped.
And even if the featured pages aren't meant to be in order by quality, whatever levels are in the first page have much more downloads than those in the back, and those that are put in the very back as soon as they are featured have very little of a chance of getting popular. Let me know what you guys think about this.

According to Gboy, the levels aren't placed into pages. It's done by different algorithms

Yeah RobTop said each level is given a value, and the higher the value is, the higher the feature page number. That's why Lost Cave got number one I think, because even though it had an unnoticed creator (Rolipso), it was one of the best levels ever, and you have to give those creators, whoever they are.... respect. But it is still messed, so idk lol!

For me this is false: There are a creator called Rlol, and yesterday one of his levels has been featured. This is a unknown creator because it his first level with stars, but that level is not in the first page, but in the 3rd page...

That's probably just because the level itself isn't as amazing compared to the other levels of its time compared to Emanuel Hyper by LegendiumX and the levels of its time, which HyperioxX seems to be *heavily* inspired by. I'm pretty sure the case here is that RobTop put the unnoticed creators where he thought they deserved to be placed but deducted from the more noticed creators.

But it is still messed, so idk lol! Yes but the value is something HE gives that places it 1st or 2nd, for example. This is why often Harder levels are in the top of featured, because I think RobTop wants to put levels there that most people have a chance at. I also think this "value" has to decrease after time, if it's like a scale, or else it would be hard to place levels, or it might just be endless.

According to Gboy, the levels aren't placed into pages. It's done by different algorithms Pls, algorithms? RobTop places the levels himself, before I thought he could just choose write like "1" and that would automatically move all levels 1 spot back, but it seems that it's a value. If it's like 1-10 that'd have to decrease after time, so if a level was given 10 it would go down after an amount of time and a new level with the value of 10 comes first. Or it might just be be like a random increasing number. For example, the first featured level could just have like 2890, and then the next level robtop wants first gets 2891

I have noticed that there really arent any formats for the featured page, it's all just random except for viprin is which always get first Ikr, there are many levels I would personally put above for example Toaster Coaster or Dynasty which both were 1st featured. I really wish Regret was placed higher up though, it's my best level IMO, and it was placed on 25th page. Yes, 25TH PAGE Well, it doesn't matter too much for me, since I get lotsa downloads either way...

Okay so this probably isn't the same problem but when I download a featured level and it's in my saved levels for like a week it's still on the first page of the featured levels. It makes everything messy and annoying to find new levels.
