I have seen similar thread in the past, but cannot find it

There is a total mess in Mics category, total crap, too many threads in different niches:
-ebook, courses, methods > 39 BST active in last month, more active in last 3 months
-coding, more and more coding BST, people just learn to code and doing BST
That's all messed with "Free Ebook", where people are bumping threads to get the free item (it should be in Freebies maybe?^^)
All these things messed up with some micro saas BSTs in totaly different categories, Google Ads services, scrappers and others.

More BSTs we have, more Mics category is messed, so maybe new categories should appear like:
"Ebook, Courses, Methods"
"Programming"
"Micro SaaS"
"Advertising accounts"

I am not objective. I just feel awful, when my thread 2 hours after bump is on page 2. 1 day after bump on page 3, 2 days later page 7.
I am following bump rules and it's dissapearing in this total mess immediately, when people with "Free ebook" have bump every few hours.

I just personaly feel, there is too many different threads in that Mics category.
 
Misc bumping is way too competitive I agree, also with newbies seemingly spam and bump and leaving great reviews on their first 10 posts, wonder how that happens.

I have sold so many products over my period selling here, can’t even get a single person to commit to leave a feedback.

If they don't listen you know what to do. Give the first chapter or one small part of your course for free if they write a comment. You have to take initiative to level the playing field.

Feel free to check out the forum guide here on how the bump system works. Effectively everyone is in the same situation, we block bumps outside of the terms ie they won’t bump if they post within a 24 hour window ref https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/the-black-hat-world-marketplace-rules.1295700/#post-13962676

Section 4: Thread Bumping Guidelines
Section 4.1: Responding To Customers
You can respond to any of your customer queries as often as you'd like and even post updates to your sales thread regarding any service updates or the like. Our marketplace bumping system means that any post you make within a 24-hour window will not appear on the homepage aka "bump" your sales thread, but will appear in your thread. This allows you to engage with customers and potential buyers in your sales thread whilst also observing the BHW marketplace bumping rules. This is an update for October 2020 and now part of the core marketplace functionality.

So to the “total mess” aspect on the misc section https://www.blackhatworld.com/forums/misc.18/ it’s busy, not doubt, but you wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t popular right? We build out our sub forums based on volume on relevant threads (remember when marketplace was one BST sub forum?). If you feel like we’ve missed a sub-forum you can help us create one per the guide here https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/how-to-create-a-new-sub-forum.1121067/ …. For an awesome thread on our full list of how to guide threads please visit https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/s...ter-list-of-all-newbie-guide-threads.1389081/

If you’d like to increase your exposure in any section you can for a very reasonable price here https://www.blackhatworld.com/pages/advertising/
