The pop-reel is a great and wonderful thing. It lets you see things that you might of never looked up otherwise, or see stuff from new level 1s that might have an amazing build. On the other hand it can be just as confusing as wonderful. People can get pop-reel in seconds even if, at some points, they don't deserve it. The pop-reel would be great to understand. How it judges something and decides it to be there. Is it by views, diamonds, comment or even just that person's subscriber level? Maybe on we'll know.

The PopR for me is like for the submissons that the community likes, because to get on the PopR, a submission must have many views, diamonds, downloads, etc. But sometimes, I find the PopR as something that some people tend to find unfair, because of the fact that the PopR usually has the same people, and people complain when the fact that they are the reason they are there, because they diamoned, downloaded, commented, etc. on it. But for the people who get on it, I think that we just say its there for a reason, which is where the people come in.

I like the Pop-Reel for the reason that it showcases some of PMC's greatest workings from the community, but it can also be a burden because it can be very hard to get Pop-Reel and only popular people tend to get on the Pop-Reel. It would be kinda great if PMC had a Pop-Reel that showcases works from random people, so everyone gets the spotlight. But this is just my opinion.

The pop-reel might be good but only because it showcases work that is a little popular or reminds you when a popular person posts something. Even so it helps people even become discovered, I myself was found that way (through all the spam lol). The blogs are chosen by experience earning factors such as Diamond, Comments, Favorites and Views. The ones with the most of that are picked. I would assume that it pings all the blogs and looks for recent ones that have high Diamond, Comments, Favorites and Views. This means that even people that don't have Planet Minecraft accounts can help you get pop-reel which is a positive point.

The Pop-Reel is great for showing the PMC community the latest and greatest work from the top members. But many lesser-known members argue that they never get on the pop-reel simply because they are not popular enough. And I would kinda have to agree with them. When I look at the pop-reel, I always see people like MayuriYandere, Ludicrous and many mods from this site get the pop-reel. (I'm not saying they don't deserve it) I almost never see lesser-known members get pop-reel unless they get really, really lucky. I know many people that make awesome content but never get pop-reel. If the pop-reel were to showcase some lesser-known people's work, maybe we will see more variety and great content. I also sometimes see 2 or even 3 things made by the same person make it onto the pop-reel at the same time. I also think that there should only be 1 submission per person on the pop-reel, so it can make room for other submissions. These are my opinions of the bad things about the pop-reel.

The pop reel (or popular reel) is a form of recognition for members who receive good attention on their posts. In order to make the pop reel it doesn't matter how good or bad your project is, it just needs a sufficient amount of diamonds and views to make the reel. I understand that some projects gain popularity when it is obvious that there has been little work put in to match the gained recognition. To this issue, I say there is nothing you can do. Itos aggravating when people are able to get a small project like this a great amount of popularity, but itos the internet wEiRd things happen. You can't blame someone for wanting to be in the spotlight; weore humans (unless you're a robot xD), itos in our nature to gain appreciation from our peers. Also thereos no need in blaming moderators for ospamo projects gaining attention on PMC, they have enough to worry about. The only person you ought to be worrying about online is yourself. The best thing you can do to encourage people to work harder on their projects is to do so by example. If you put a great amount of work into your posts, that your peers may follow. Basically monkey see, monkey do :P
