Glad to hear you got boosted, Ray. I had one article/poem boosted in April "Never Dally in the Field of Vain Regret'" but I think that was mainly due to April being National Poetry Month.

The increased views lasted about a week as you said, but my stats showed that it was boosted, and I did receive an email telling me so. I can't really comment as to if their choices are biased or not. Thank you for posing the question though.
