🟧 - The "Most Popular" section appears to favor paid posts over free. This doesn't always provide new and returning readers with the greatest snapshot of our work. For example, a paid post with less views and engagement can push out a free post with higher stats.
As a request, can we have the option to toggle on paid posts being favored over free?

Yes. To be able to toggle that would be good. That explains why a paid post from over a year ago remains top of my Most Popular section - when I've had free posts with a lot more traction.
I second that emotion, Alyssa! Perhaps we should put your comment behind a paywall....that way we might be assured it'll be seen by those who might answer your well-put question!
Yes! I brought up the same issue below. I would like the "most popular" list to reflect the posts that really ARE most popular, regardless of whether or not they are paywalled. Other wise popular posts that I want to keep free (so that I can inspire people to subscribe) get buried.

Hey Alyssa, this makes a lot of sense. I am sharing the idea with the team for consideration.
I would really like to see this too. Popular unpaid posts are good way to get people to subscribe, but not if they are buried.

IKR.....reality, what a concept!

🐛 tacking onto this: i've actually had issues with the 'most popular' section – it doesn't accurately rank the posts for me.
