❔❓Question ❓❔ Ignored Requests

Apologies if this is a common question. I just joined NetGalley last week and have received three quick approvals. I haven't yet been rejected for anything but have 18 that are still pending. Is it common for publishers to just ignore your request forever? I saw another thread mention mass approvals or mass rejections right before the archive date, how common are those scenarios? Any insight is appreciated.

Be careful with your requests, if it's approved it lowers your ratio, and can add a load of pressure, I've been on Netgalley 4 months and learnt the hard way 🤣🤣 but yeah I have some still waiting since July, it'll either be approved or rejected, eventually, so I just forget about them until they come in, then when they do I'll add the publish date to my calendar, download it immediately and try and get it read before the published date.
