How do you get alot of upvotes on the Code Playground?

The most upvotes I have ever got was five, and that was an extreme amount in comparison to a regular one or two upvotes. It seems like nobody ever looks at my codes. Does anyone actually just browse throughout the recent codes section regularly and generously upvote, or is it merely by chance that popular coders like Mitali get them in such amounts? Any tips to being found? I am fluent in HTML and CSS. I am learning Java at school, but the class is too slow and Sololearn is too dry of a platform for learning anything other than JavaScript and/or freaking populism in codes. I have no problem getting answers in the Discuss section, but there is no way to tell whether or not people are viewing my codes. If anyone has contacts with Sololearn, or Sololearn is reading this, please (ask them to) consider adding a feature that allows people to see how many views their codes have gotten. I am probably not only speaking for myself either, because a good 95% of us are losing confidence in our ability to code when we spend hours on a code that experienced coders dismiss as crap. Thank you.

Honestly it's sooooo frustrating when your code doesn't get seen after trying so hard, you could maybe tell someone popular to please share your code if they like it.

how many followers and forum recognition a person has also plays a big role. A well known person is more likely to get views because people will go "oh hey, i know this guy" and check his code upon seeing it

At first make your codes extra ordinary as if it fascinates other!! By the way you can post your code the discussion Bellow!!! https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/452626/?ref=app https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/759416/?ref=app https://www.sololearn.com/discuss/416138/?ref=app

I find myself upvoting codes rather conservatively. Since I am a beginner myself, how can I even judge if the code is any good? So basically I will often end up upvoting codes of people who are not too far above me - because I can still understand what they did, and can appreciate that they managed to do something more effectively than I could have (or codes that do cool stuff from my POV). Upvoting codes I have no clue what they actually do, in a coding learning group, feels really phoney to me.

I also have the impression that upvotes are shared rather randomly, or rather influenced by many factors: Timing, fanbase, overall 'presence', how much you upvote other people's code yourself plays a role ... On that note (no accusation intended): Do you do that yourself, regularly scanning the recent uploads, analyzing the codes, commenting, upvoting? Because that's actually quite a bit of work! And what would it tell you if people actually upvoted your code? Sometimes upvotes fly around like candy. Do you think a person with 1500 followers upvoting ten of your codes in under three minutes has studied all of them?
