How points work
10 per recorded episode · 5 per review written · 3 per review received · +1 for each 4★ received, +2 for each 5★.
Only connections marked as recorded count, and a review only counts once its episode has been recorded. Episodes are dated when they were recorded and reviews when they were written, so the two can land in different periods. Profiles that have paused matching are not shown.
