Hello @lee :)

Hot/trending/most popular posts

We're taking care of this with the "For You" tab, which defaults to the "Trending" sub-tab so that you can discover new, interesting content.

The 2 ideas you shared around "generate cover image & one-touch play from YouTube links" and "enable multiple CTA" are things I see belonging to this broader initiative to optimize the composer experience for people to create and share content. You may have already been looped into related conversations about making our composer more friendly to non-devs, and I see these ideas all tying together... Our design team will do an ambitious design exploration combining these various ideas so that we can see the end-goal, and we'll create a post like this one :)
