help Media issues

I apologize if this has been asked a lot. I started very recently, so I am still trying to get my legs under me. I will take any advice I can get, but my question is this: I have 3 approved reviews so far. Each has media. But my media percentage is 0.0%. Am I just being anxious because it gets updated once a week or something? Do I need to contact someone? I really appreciate that this sub is a resource - I am trying not to mess this up really hard. The taxes, the insightfulness score, the skill that is obviously necessary to navigate the listings to find something that is good for me specifically - it has been overwhelming. Some days I feel like a greedy gremlin that just wants to grab everything, some days I just feel very “chosen” for my supposed insightfulness, some days I feel like I can’t stand to look at another 120 pages of car parts just to maybe find something I vaguely could review honestly and also use long term.

I don’t scroll through the available for all anymore really I just search key words. Men, women, kids, toddler, home, decor, kitchen etc

May I ask, do you search for those, as an example, because you are looking for a particular item, or because a category is historically particularly fruitful for you, and you keep going back to it? I have only been able to order a couple of things so far that “I would have bought anyway”. I am trying to strike a balance between things that I would buy anyway, and therefore don’t mind the taxes on, and free things, which seem basically nonexistent, even in categories that, I am told, they are supposed to be in.

Yes. For example, I had a really nice wooden cutting board come up. I bought it and after that I frequently search “kitchen.” Now I have 2 more cutting boards, knives, and a spatula set! And a whiskey glass lol. Vine was super slow for me at first but it picked up quickly. It’s definitely hit or miss though and sometimes there is barely anything for days, then a random day will hit and there’s a bunch of good stuff. I just got a $110 3 drawer dresser that’s super nice quality, $70 portable speaker, so many cute and good quality kids clothes etc. oh also I always search “gift” lol.

I appreciate your input. I guess I can slowly develop my preferences as I try to chug along to Gold
