During #GR8, we ran an a/b test on the default sort mechanism on the grants/ page.

We wanted to test whether @gitcoin platform has the great power (& great responsibility) to affect funding of grants via its discoverability & curation tools.๐Ÿ‘‡
The a/b test was between two grant landing page sorting algorithms:

1. **weighted_shuffle** - every grant has a chance of being in top 10, which is equal to their `max(5000, current_match_amount)`
2. **random_shuffle** - every grant has an equal chance of being in top 10

/2
Random shuffle is nice insofar every grant has an equal chance of being at the top, but it meant a lot of spammy/bad grants were surfaced too.

Weighted shuffle has the opposite effect (rich get richer, but filters out the riff raff). /3
