Without doing to much research on this I wanted to reach out to this forum and ask first.
On Kickstarter when you click a category there is always a featured project, then there tends to be the "New & Noteworthy" category. Sometimes there is also a "Popular" and "Almost There" category you can search as well, it seems that these two categories come and go at random.
Does anyone know how or why this is? I was hoping to be put in the "Almost There" category for my own project when I reached the mid 80% range in funding, it has not happened however. I'm not mad or anything obviously, just curious if there is a reasoning behind how these disappearing categories operate. I've seen projects as low as 75% in the "Almost There" category,
Anyone have any idea? Has anyone else ever wondered this same thing, or am I alone on this? As of now i'm thinking these disappearing categories kinda work in a way similar to when projects get the Kickstarter love this project badge. The few google searches I have done have led to no information on the topic.
Thanks yall. Hope to hear from some of you.
