I think the only "solution" is to change the algos for the trending page. Front end fix. Posts without engagement, without organic views, get filtered out. So someone who is autovoted to trending is not part of the showcase.

I don't think changing the algos is the only solution. I've proposed a max reward for content quite a few times. I don't know if it is technically possible, but that would force users to vote on other posts.
what would the cap be based on?
A value in US dollars and an amount 'the community' decides is the max for a blogpost.
Don't forget you can send a tip when you think a post deserves more.
It's just an idea...
I see this idea getting more resistance than the French in 1944
😂
Because?
Do people really find for instance 100+ dollar for a blogpost a fair amount?
And there are just a few that get those amounts. And usually the same people as well.
None of us can truly agree on what true value means to begin with. I'm sure there's a few people that find my writing trash, and yet I pour my soul into it. So, there's that reality to consider.
I find abuse and use, to be akin to microbiota. Balance = life
Sure, the value of a post can be different depending on who you ask.
But if you don't compare the content, but the effort that has been put into it, the difference between your posts that earn $3 - $15 and other posts that make over $100 sometimes even over $200 is just too big.
