The new algorithm is too unstable - one day my game drops, the next it spikes. The previous algorithm version was much more consistent. Please consider reverting it.

It’s funny how my game increased in players today yet the monetization has gotten worse. Every new thumbnail I try gets worse QPTR somehow than a very lazy thumbnail I have had (and that thumbnail’s QPTR keeps going down). Get rid of these 7 day signals. It says boost your discovery when it’s the opposite for my home impressions.
And if I am being honest, there is far too much weight on thumbnail QPTR in general with this new algorithm, all it’s doing is presenting more clickbait on the home page for some of the lowest quality games out there. They are able to maintain high players from the sheer amount of players clicking and playing the game for one or two minutes before leaving. I’ve had a game in the 90th benchmark for session time constantly and the algorithm did not react until I made a new thumbnail, QPTR is like the only benchmark that matters now on my end.

7 day intentional co-play days per user, is still not fixed for reserved servers
completely L update, my game went from 300 players to 2k in 2 days after it got discovered by algo, it used to get 30-60k home recommendations. Now only 200 home recomm per day. My qptr was 1.6% and now it is 0.4%. What a disaster? How can this happen

This algorithm change has caused a few of my games to drop to extremely low CCUs compared to before the change. I really hope some adjustments or made or this change is reverted.

Please revert it, now I do not know if this type of behavior from the recommended algorithm is normal (look at my impressions) but by now my game should have hundreds of players and I do not understand what the algorithm is doing? I get 3k home recommendation impressions D1 Playtime of home recommendation per player is 17 Minutes and retention 26% how is it possible that I get LESS impressions?
