# TrafficScent (트래픽센트)

> TrafficScent is a real-time trend radar. It lists popular posts from 50+ Korean and global online communities, trending YouTube videos, news from major Korean outlets, blog posts, app and game store rankings, and AI model benchmarks (figures from Artificial Analysis). Every item links to its original source; TrafficScent does not host the original content. The site is Korean-first and also available in English, Japanese and Traditional Chinese.

## How the data works

- Collection: a crawler checks each source's public listings and feeds about every 15 minutes.
- Ordering: in the community feed "Popular" puts the posts with the most upvotes first (newest first when tied) and "Latest" orders by posting time; YouTube can be ordered by views or upload time. There is no hidden scoring formula.
- Deleted posts: for some sources (for example Blind) the original post is checked and removed from the list when it was deleted.
- App and game rankings: the charts as Google Play, the Apple App Store and Steam publish them; TrafficScent does not recalculate ranks.
- AI benchmarks: figures published by Artificial Analysis (https://artificialanalysis.ai/), shown with the date of the snapshot. TrafficScent does not run the measurements.

## Languages

Korean is served at the plain addresses. Add `?lang=en`, `?lang=ja` or `?lang=tw` for the English, Japanese or Traditional Chinese version; each is rendered on the server and listed with hreflang in the sitemap.
