If it is not a bug but just a simple backlog, one good idea is to adjust the boost schedule so that it fits with research in Behavioral Economics*
A linear schedule (1 Minds token = 1000 views, 2 Minds tokens = 2000, etc) is esthetic and it looks "orderly"--but it is not how humans value things. Linear schedules will necessarily create backlogs, because there is diminishing marginal utility in the human valuation of quantities of things.
A "better-than-linear" schedule may be this:
[1000 views] * [# Minds tokens] ^ 0.88
Thanks for looking this over, --Urukagina
