Give to get
The order in which every PodSwap exchange serves waiting orders: creators who give are served before creators who only take.
Every exchange is open around the clock. Order engagement for your posts and give to other creators whenever it suits you; nothing waits for a room to fill or a time to come round. What you give goes first to the creators who are giving, so the more you take part, the sooner your own orders are filled.
Orders are grouped into bands, highest first: fresh posts, new members, owed the most, owed, owed a little, square, not giving, away. Within a band the match score decides, then the oldest order.
It replaced Live Rooms, which opened an exchange only once enough creators were ready at the same time. Rooms did not fill often enough, so they were retired, and the serving order is now what makes sure people who give get engagement back.
