"New" and not "Hot" should be the selection by default

I’m talking about Inspiration listings in particular, but the same goes on for all listings. Give new additions and works a chance instead of blocking them with a crust of old matches that sit there forever. When it comes to Inspiration in particular, a lot of people go there to click and “like” something, or anything, and get a little extra Stamina for the day. The view they get is “Hot” pictures, i. e. the ones already with thousands of likes. There is nothing especially great about most of those, they are on top because of inertia. Users “like” the first pictures they see, get their Stamina and go back to image generation, and these deathless results float even higher to the top. Instead people should see new pictures by default and make their choices there, if they care to choose at all, and then the number of likes will mean something and they may rise to the top, to “Hot,” the natural way.

      Popularity has nothing to do with quality.
