Platform Updates

Inside WMV — A Week of Progress

New ways to support creators, stronger community features and a more refined platform experience.

Inside WMV — A Week of Progress, Weekly Most Views platform update, 1–8 November 2026

Every great platform is built through continuous improvement.

At Weekly Most Views, our vision is to create a place where talented video creators gain recognition, supporters have a meaningful voice, and creativity can reach audiences beyond traditional social media.

Between 1 and 8 November, we've made significant progress across community voting, creator recognition, platform reliability and communication.

Some improvements are already live. Others are being prepared for their next public release. Here's what's changed.

Your Support. Three Votes. Every Day.

One of this week's biggest developments is the introduction of three free votes per supporter, every day.

Supporters can give all three votes to their favourite eligible creator or distribute them between different creators during an active competition week. Votes reset at midnight, Amsterdam time.

This gives our community more freedom to support the creators they believe in and makes participation a more meaningful part of the weekly competition.

We've also introduced creator vote notifications, allowing creators to see when their community supports them.

Because recognition means more when the people behind it can be heard.

A New Chapter for Weekly Rankings

Week 45 marks an important milestone for Weekly Most Views. Our weekly competition now combines two elements:

  • Two-thirds verified views
  • One-third free community votes

This means that content performance remains central to the competition, while supporters now have a direct influence on weekly results.

Our annual competition experience has also been improved, making it easier to explore long-term standings and creator achievements.

Celebrating Creator Achievements

Creators deserve recognition for more than a single successful week. That's why we've introduced a collection of 28 achievement stickers, celebrating milestones such as view totals, consistency and competition progress.

These achievements give creators new ways to recognise their journey and celebrate the progress they're making.

We've also improved creator profiles with more direct access to Discover content, helping visitors explore the videos behind each creator.

Easier and More Reliable Google Sign-In

Joining Weekly Most Views should be simple, especially on a mobile phone. This week, we introduced important improvements to Google sign-in and supporter onboarding.

These changes address issues that could previously interrupt registration, cause mobile authentication redirects to fail or prevent newly registered supporters from reaching their dashboard.

We've strengthened account creation safeguards and improved the transition between Google authentication and the Weekly Most Views supporter experience. For new members, this means a more dependable way to join the community and begin exploring the platform.

Less time signing up. More time discovering and supporting creators.

A More Welcoming Supporter Experience

We've also improved the supporter welcome email, making it clearer, more mobile-friendly and easier to read across different email applications. New supporters receive guidance about their three free daily votes and a direct invitation to explore Discover.

Meanwhile, a redesigned supporter registration page and more prominent joining opportunities throughout the website are being prepared for release. These improvements will help visitors understand what joining means, what supporters can do and how they can become part of a growing international community.

Status: the Google sign-in improvements and welcome email system are live. The redesigned supporter page and navigation enhancements are currently in preview.

A More Distinctive Weekly Most Views

We've been working to make the platform feel more recognisable, authentic and enjoyable across different devices.

Our upcoming homepage improvements include a more atmospheric Earth experience, refined mobile navigation and a creator-focused editorial section featuring real WMV talent.

The new creator introduction features Duda (@duardapontess) from the United Kingdom, presenting a more authentic example of the community behind Weekly Most Views. Rather than relying on generic promotional cards, the new presentation gives prospective creators a clearer understanding of the opportunities available through participation.

These changes are designed to strengthen the identity of Weekly Most Views while keeping the website accessible and easy to use.

Better Communication, Behind the Scenes

This week also brought important improvements to how we communicate with our community. We've introduced separate weekly newsletters for creators and supporters, allowing each audience to receive more relevant updates, competition information and announcements.

Email layouts have been improved for mobile devices, with additional safeguards for reliable delivery and subscription preferences.

Behind the scenes, we've strengthened community monitoring, moderation tools and administrative notifications to support the platform as participation grows. Further improvements to creator administration and invitation notifications are also being prepared for release.

Looking Ahead

We're continuing to develop new ways for creators to be discovered and supporters to participate. Our areas of focus include improvements to the Discover viewing experience, richer country-based recognition and new ways to showcase standout weekly content.

These are development priorities, not announced release dates. We're committed to building Weekly Most Views thoughtfully, improving the experience and introducing new possibilities as the community develops.

We're Only Getting Started.

Every improvement brings us closer to the platform we want Weekly Most Views to become.

To our creators: thank you for sharing your content and being part of this journey. To our supporters: thank you for making your voices heard and helping recognise the talent you believe in. And to everyone discovering Weekly Most Views for the first time: there's a place for you here.

The next chapter is already taking shape.
