Since "Pupular Now" was made the default search, it seems that basically nobody is looking for "Newest" items in the Gallery anymore. So, only popular users are getting their content downloaded, and users who are not popular can only plum themselves. This is kind of elitist, I can't understand why this was changed.

It was confirmed that it would be changed back to newest, but they said it will be a little while until then. Hopefully it will be soon. I have no intentions on picking those items from popular.

I have always had at least few downloads when I upload some content to the Gallery, but now it is all zero. And when I search Newest and scroll down, it is all just 0 downloads and 0 likes. That looks just awful.

I agree it's elitist, hence discriminating. I don't grab stuff from the gallery often, but when I do I go for the postings that have little to no action. There's a lot of really nice stuff from the 'who?' makers out there that deserves a chance.

It's the click of a button, people. Get a grip.You generally find better content in popular now vs newest so it makes sense that pop now would be the default.It's the best of both worlds - updated frequently + popular picks.

The problem is that popular now actually isn't being updated frequently, because what's on popular now ends up staying there for a long time due to being continually downloaded. Thankfully, it has long been confirmed that the default will indeed switch back to newest.

I don't want to see popular now, or trending, I'm not Borg and no group think for me. :D

Definitely. I used to get like 20ish downloads per build, and now I’m lucky if I get one,

When "Popular Now" is the default search, people don't even bother to ever check "Newest".
