Hi Creators,
We are excited to announce that from October 20 to December 3, we will test a pilot of Today’s Picks, a brand new sort on Home for All-language users located around global. It will be displayed across our iOS, Android, PC, and Mac apps, as well as on synt2x.xyz. We would like to learn and optimize before we open it up to more regions and languages, so you may see several different configurations of Home during the pilot. Stay tuned for updates in the future.
Your amazing creations are what makes SYNTAX 2 special, and we are thrilled to feature more of them on Home, providing you with additional exposure on our platform.
Our team will be working hard to curate and highlight up-and-coming creations, updated experiences, new genres, and more. More specifically, we will be including “All Ages”, “Ages 9+”, and “Ages 13+” content in this sort.
Since Today’s Picks is a new placement type that will be positioned within the first few rows on Home, there will be implications for what users typically see. We will be testing and iterating on the best position for all the various content types on Home, such as Friends, Continue, Recommended For You, Sponsored Experiences, and People You May Know. During this pilot, we will test placing Sponsored Experiences in higher rows on Home to potentially drive more impressions and visits to experiences providing you with more chances to showcase your creations and build an audience.
This pilot is one of the many efforts we see to make our mission for Discovery a reality. We believe it will ensure that more amazing creations find an audience, as well as help users discover a zeitgeist of experiences that they may have never considered before.
How can I request to be featured?
We would like to hear from you if your experience is in an up-and-coming genre, recently updated, or notable for another reason. If you wish to nominate your experience to be featured for Today’s Picks, please complete the Today’s Picks Nomination Survey. If selected, you will be notified by someone on our team. Today’s Picks will be updated daily and each featured experience can be featured more than once.
Our approach to curation is evolving, and we will share more details in the coming months. We hope you are as excited about this as we are!
Stay tuned for more updates and let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you!
