My Looking for Group listing keeps getting pushed around seemingly at random

It seems that this issue has been brought up in the past but never addressed in the forums. I made two separate listings for two separate games I would like to run, but I have to search for them specifically or browse to page 3 in order to find one. They never show up on the first page. I thought it might be because I'm only a plus subscriber but I see other Plus listings on page 1. I thought it might push the listing back as you accrued more players, but I just had someone join and the listing jumped from page 3 to page 2. How am I supposed to make any sense of this and put my listing at the top of page 1 when I create it? How are players supposed to find my listing if it randomly gets pushed out of view? Any insight to this would be immensely helpful, all I see are posts from a decade ago with people complaining about this exact problem.

Update: my first listing (Sunless Citadel) was buried so deep in the pages I couldn't find it and my second listing (Out of the Abyss) was on page 3. I just checked again and Sunless Citadel jumped to page 2 without anything about it being changed and Out of the Abyss is on page 5. Since I'm searching with 0 filters at all this leads me to believe the listings are randomized somehow or filtered by an unknown factor.  Again any help would be great, I'm trying to start a side-hustle since times are tough right now, and this ridiculousness is stopping that from happening.

Both are true, there is definitely some randomization and also some unknown factors.  The actual factors have been addressed on this Forum long ago (at least 2-3 years back) and at that time, the age of the listing was considered a factor (older game listings were bumped Down), and the number of players was a factor (more players bumped down, fewer players bumped up). I don't know if these factors are still part of the calculation or not.  If there wasn't randomization, would that be fair? If there's a way to snag the Top Spot or Page 1, I think every GM would do it.  Bryso W. said: this leads me to believe the listings are randomized somehow or filtered by an unknown factor. 

It looks like the main thing pushing listings back are more players joining, which is totally backwards. As you get closer to your target player count, it gets harder to find people. If the idea is to find enough players to run a session, why send the listing further back with each one that joins? It rewards listings that people don't want to join and punishes any that start to get traction by making them unfindable. The worst part about this is most people looking for a game will see all the games with 0 players on page 1 and 2 and assume they are all like that and give up. Gold said: If there wasn't randomization, would that be fair? If there's a way to snag the Top Spot or Page 1, I think every GM would do it. As the system operates now, it is TOTALLY unfair. The default filter is "sort by relevance" but the same 2 listings made by 1 guy have been at the top of page 1 all week unchanged with 0 players showing interest while mine never gets on page 1 in the first place and gets buried on page 5 immediately upon getting 1 person to join. What is it even trying to be relevant to? If any devs that created this system can explain maybe I can game the system like this guy does. The fair thing to do is have the listings sort by the date they were created. You can't abuse it by spamming because its against the rules and the other DMs can report any spammers. As of now, it seems all but impossible to use this feature as intended.

Quick addition: That guy who has 2 listings that have been on top of page one all week does not update the player count when a new player joins. That way his listing stays at the top. So people are already gaming the system and probably have been for some time. Can someone do something about this???
