    Any ideas on how featuring works in PH?

    Guys, I'm really confused on how PH features products on a voting day. I assumed that interest shown by the community can be a key driver. Before the launch day we had more than 40 people subscribed to "Coming soon" (which is a good number I guess). All these people are real PH members whom I don't even know. I didn't ask anyone to subscribe for us or vote. Today, in the voting day, only 6 products (normally it is more) have been featured. Our product is accurately posted as the last in the very long list. So, 0 chance to get any voting visibility. Why? How it works? Can anyone explain? We really want to show up, community says product is interesting, but we got no chance

    I feel it's completely Pandora's box now - even with every tip PH offers, there's no guarantee of being featured on launch day. Ultimately, it all depends on the editor's personal taste; if he/she doesn’t find your product interesting, it simply won’t get featured.

    @luobaishun, Hi, Luo, thanks for your thoughts. But, then, if featuring decision (which in fact influences voting a lot) is based on someone's subjective decision, with no any objective reasoning (like community opinion), doesn't that look like straight way to corruption? I totally understand why featuring exists, so many projects apply, all of them are certainly decent, but quality may vary. But why can't you have open criteria. So upset :(
