Store Ranking Algorithm

Hey folks, Can you please help me to understand how the Apify store ranking algorithm works and what I can do to optimise things? In particular, I was under the impression that I would gain a significant ranking boost by using tiered pricing, as per @ellativity's announcement on 13 August: "Tiered pricing Actors get higher rankings than non-tiered ones." Given that only a tiny fraction of Store listings currently use tiered pricing (less than 100 out of 7,000+), I figured that it shouldn't be too hard for an actor that uses tiered pricing to rank well.
But, currently, my actor YouTube Ultimate SCraper is ranking around 200th for the search term "YouTube Scraper" and just as poorly for other related search terms. Ranking high above it are many other actors (some of which are not even related to YouTube) with flat-rate pricing, low ratings, poor issue response times and inactive codebases. What's happening here, and how can I fix things?
