"Pretty soon."
Lu Ban refreshed the page again and watched his likes break through four hundred thousand.
It was only the afternoon of the fifth day. Four hundred thousand likes in less than a week—Lu Ban thought that was already very impressive.
As for coins, there were around eighty thousand, which was a little low.
But it wasn't a big problem.
Old Days Video Network's ranking and recommendation mechanisms supported new works. Simply put, videos posted within a week were more likely to become popular, thereby attracting more viewers.
According to the website's algorithm, view count was only one factor in ranking. The video's subject matter, likes, and coins were separate factors.
Some videos had very high view counts, but their content was heavily derivative, following trends and riding on popular topics. Such videos would receive fewer likes and coins, so their rankings were not necessarily high.
Other videos appealed to a relatively niche, hardcore audience and were of very high quality. So even if their view counts were not that high, they could still make the rankings because of their large numbers of likes and coins.
It was just like novel websites. Some books had many readers and ranked near the top. Others had fewer readers, but because their quality was good, they received many recommendation tickets and monthly tickets, allowing them to rank near the top as well.
This was also one of the ways to encourage creators to keep producing content.
Therefore, although Lu Ban's system had no time limit, he had still given his viewers a condition for extra updates: they had to give him a certain number of likes and coins within a week.
People were impulsive, after all. For example, after watching Lu Ban's video, some viewers were still caught up in the moment.
