How would we know that?

You have more opinions on this than most others, though there are at least two alternative Hugo theme directories that use different criteria. My recommendation: use an alternative theme directory, or create your recommended 1 - 3 themes for Hugo users. That solves everything! 🙂

I understand that there is a language barrier here. I am also not a native speaker of English myself.

But your latest reply really doesn’t quite make sense to me.

However let me try to make it clear. The [Hugo Themes Showcase](https://themes.gohugo.io/) is managed by a group of volunteers and we actively welcome as many new theme submissions as possible and I am afraid that we could never possibly promote just 1-3 Hugo themes as the _The Best Theme_ because that would be unfair to all the other theme authors who have made an effort to develop an Open Source Hugo theme for the community.

Also I am closing this topic because there is really nothing to discuss here.
