This is really disappointing. It kind of confirms my feeling that certain pubs have favorites for boost nominations. I feel like I can tell by how they have treated my work in the past if they will nominate me or not. I do weirdly ok with self-published boosts and a couple of pubs I have had good luck with. I don't like feeling like my work loses a fair chance at a boost in certain pubs, which seems to be a decent probability.
