1Limited Advertisement

We know that too many ads can be tiring and frustrating, which can make the experience less enjoyable. That's why at Booster, we use a limited-ads system that lets you decide: watch ads to earn rewards, or disable them if you prefer.

2XP System

XP is our platform's coin. You can use it to unlock rewards, personalize your experience, and support the communities you follow. XP can be obtained through interactions within the platform, or either through optional purchases.

3Communities Boosters

This is the Booster Bar. You can fill it with Booster Points earned through your XP to level it up. When you give XP to a community, you become a Supporter. As the community's level increases, its videos gain more visibility and are recommended more widely across the platform.

The Scoring Formula

score(x)=ln⁡((1000⋅x.creator.boostPoints1000+1)2+x.views+tanh⁡(x.averageRating−3.5)⋅ln⁡(max⁡(x.ratings,1))+ln⁡(max⁡(x.ratings,1))+ln⁡(max⁡(x.comments,1))+1000⋅x.creator.boostPoints1000)+100ln⁡(hoursSinceUpload(x.createdAt)+2)−100⋅I(x.watched)+50⋅I(following x.creator)+20⋅ln⁡(∑(categoryViews  where view  =x.category)+1)(+50⋅I(sameCategory as current video being watched))→Only in the /videos page, not in explorer\begin{aligned} score(x) &= \ln\Bigg( \Big(\frac{\sqrt{1000 \cdot x.creator.boostPoints}}{1000} + 1\Big)^{2} + x.views \\ &\quad + \tanh(x.averageRating - 3.5) \cdot \ln(\max(x.ratings, 1)) \\ &\quad + \ln(\max(x.ratings, 1)) + \ln(\max(x.comments, 1)) + \frac{\sqrt{1000 \cdot x.creator.boostPoints}}{1000} \Bigg) \\ &\quad + \frac{100}{\ln(\text{hoursSinceUpload}(x.createdAt) + 2)} \\ &\quad - 100 \cdot \mathbb{I}(x.watched) \\ &\quad + 50 \cdot \mathbb{I}(\text{following} \ x.creator) \\ &\quad + 20 \cdot \ln(\textstyle \sum (categoryViews \ \text{ where view }\ = x.category) + 1) \\ &\quad \Big( + 50 \cdot \mathbb{I}(\text{sameCategory as current video being watched}) \Big) \rightarrow \text{Only in the /videos page, not in explorer} \end{aligned}
