: Videos are ranked based on their popularity, which can be determined by user engagement metrics such as views, likes, comments, and shares.
This is the gold standard for discerning users. Videos that end up in the "Top Rated" section have a high ratio of upvotes to downvotes. For a video to survive here, it needs decent rendering (for 3D CGI), smooth frame rates (for 2D animation), or clever editing (for SFM/GMOD content). rule34video com top
