90% of shown blogs are by the same 3 GMs

> I can understand the frustration of working hard to create something and struggling to get it noticed. I did my share of 0 viewer Twitch streams years ago. I also think the algorithm for Lichess blogs can be better about bringing low-follower blogs to the top if they're good enough. I like the idea of new discovery tools like a "new" section perhaps. That said, the overall attitude shown in this thread is something I can't support.

It undermines any reasonable argument you might have about improving the algorithm, as does bringing up irrelevant information like how much a blog author make coaching. Why would I care if somebody charges $300/hour for coaching? Good for them! What matters here is how good the blogs are, or more precisely, to what extent Lichess users find them interesting or useful.

I don't have other blogs.

I think all the blogs suck.

I want an option to hide the blogs, streamers, tournament winners and leaderboards from the homepage.

Thanks in advance!
