Discovery signals and creator counts

Public Rift cards show aggregate likes, saves, and creator followers. Only a verified account session can change these signals. Guest browsing never claims that the viewer liked, saved, or followed anything.

Save in discovery means a bookmark for finding a Rift again. It is separate from the server-authoritative gameplay autosave configured with the player Save component.

Workshop's Public release account card shows four basic creator totals:

• currently public Rifts;
• likes across currently public Rifts;
• saved-Rift bookmarks across currently public Rifts;
• creator followers.

These are raw informational counts. They do not change New Releases order, trust level, rewards, eligibility, or payouts. Disabled Rifts disappear from public reads and their signals are excluded from creator totals. Ranking safeguards and controlled exposure experiments must be designed and abuse-tested before any signal affects discovery.
