How 'Trends' are computed?

Trends are calculated everyday in this method:

Trending = Amount of Views on the Next Day - Amount of Views from the Previous Day

To help you understand further how this actually works, we'll give you an example:

Post Number 4 Days ago
3 Days ago
2 Days Ago 1 Day ago




Post # 1
3 views 5 views 7 views 2 views



Post # 2 10 views 9 views 6 views 3 views



Post # 3 2 views 4 views 5 views 8 views



Let's try to apply the formula we mentioned earlier:

Post # 1's Trending Score = (5 - 3) + (7 - 5) + (2 - 7)
			  = (2) + (2) + (-5)
			  = -1

If we calculate the trending scores for all 3 posts, we would end up with this:

Post # 1 = -1
Post # 2 = -7
Post # 3 = -6

The post with the highest Trending Score will be at the highest rank on Trending. This will mean that Post # 1 will be the highest, followed by Post # 3, then Post # 2.

Note that Trending Scores are calculated everyday.
