Low quality bounties are showing above better ones on the homepage #205

Description

The Gibwork homepage currently shows a mix of serious bounties and very low-effort or joke tasks near the top of the page. For example, a task like “Make a SH!T meme, post it on X...” can appear right next to legitimate $100 development or social media bounties.

For a new visitor, seeing this immediately can give the wrong impression and make Gibwork look less moderated or spammy, even though there are good-quality opportunities available on the platform.

Current Behavior

The homepage feed appears to be sorted mainly by recency, with the newest bounties being shown first. This means almost any newly posted task can end up near the top, regardless of its payout, quality, or how professional the listing is.

Suggested Fix

The homepage could prioritize higher-paying or higher-quality bounties instead of showing everything based on when it was posted. A Featured or Verified section could also help highlight trusted and worthwhile tasks.

Low-effort or flagged bounties could be kept out of the first section that new visitors see. Another option would be to show Popular or Verified bounties by default for logged-out users, while keeping Newest as a separate tab.

Why This Matters

First-time visitors usually form an opinion about a platform very quickly. Showing better-quality bounties first would make Gibwork feel more professional and trustworthy, while also giving new users a better idea of the quality of work available on the platform.
