Sometimes, the unexpected just happens.
Chen Jincheng truly hadn't expected that a random video he shot of a power socket would blow up and land him near the top of the trending list.
If it had just been the popularity from the Heat Card's one million likes, it would have been impossible, even with all the girls jumping on the trend and turning it into a hot topic. The trending value for today's top videos was over ten million.
Trending value was a comprehensive calculation based on popularity, interaction, comments, shares, follower engagement, timeliness, and so on.
Timeliness was heavily weighted, which was why official news reports usually ranked high. That was just proper and correct.
Next was follower engagement, which was why major celebrity scandals or official announcements could also shoot to the top immediately after being released.
