Influencers? Hmmmm I never thought that way.
In fact, here we always end up with 10 posts, and all of them are usually equally good to be featured. From there, I picked this random criterion to select the 5 top ones. Also, in terms of number of comments, there is not any big difference between those posts.
This being said, I agree that I could make a random selection as well. This may be as good. Should we try this?
