I'm sure it's nice to be on the leaderboard. Maybe it's not zero traffic related incentives, just that it is not a big driver. A good example of which is that 'the 50 Best TV Shows on Netflix Right Now' will not be raised as a huge achievement at the author's annual review

And in terms of quantitiative info the raw clicks this is measuring have just been steadily de-prioritised over time. It's just the only bit that's public.
