I rarely use the home page to find good novels; I usually check specific tags. I totally ignore it, to be honest. Sometimes I check the trending to see if there is a good cover. But based on my experience looking at the statistics of my stories, most people look until page 3 before giving up, and in the trending, sometimes number two or three gets more views than number one. Most forget number 9, but it still gives you some good views compared to an average day.
