That's cos you read other posts by other people or browse the trending tag like other people... normal people.
Considering most everyone in here agrees that trending is full of mostly over-rewarded shitposts... I don't think most ever go there. Especially not when most of Hive's users live on L2s like splintertalk, oneup, [the now defunct] naturalmedicine and proofofbrain - that often aren't tagged in those posts.
Or... maybe someone wasn't online for the one or two weeks where this was being discussed?
I know I, personally, have never looked to trending for content, I might skim it to see if there are important updates there, but it's mostly FB-friendly content.
Yup. Well done Kenny. Just keep knocking those folks down.
Classy.
People come to this platform and post. I don't necessarily enjoy everything, either. I'd say that's normal. But these content creators don't have control over whether or not they have a successful day. I've seen some great stuff up there. I look every day and browse as part of my routine. If someone gets up there honestly for doing a good job, they should not be made out to feel bad or embarrassed for it. Genuine success stories here should be celebrated. That does occur, quite often. These bad attitudes do nothing to boost morale. It's sickening already. Getting the evil eye for doing good? Think about that at least.
How can you complain about trending content, saying it's overrewarded shit, then complain about downvotes being used on overewarded content? Make up your mind. I don't want to see good stuff get downvoted after those folks tried because people like you are complaining.
You're throwing everything and everyone under the bus. Contradicting yourself nonstop while you smile and hold up a peace sign. Come on dude. You can do better.
That's also because most whales don't care at all about what they upvote (not to mention what they produce themselves), instead of that they do a fully automated 'upvoting service' of two-image-shit-posts (and at the same time flag "over rewarded" posts from other users). You had a discussion here with my 'best friend' @themarkymark who complained he wouldn't find enough posts worth to upvote ... well, who just doesn't seek, doesn't find, lol.
Ich bin Splinterlands-Wal und besitze Bitcoins, es gibt also keinen Grund für mich, 'salzig' zu sein - dennoch finde ich es sehr schade für HIVE als Blogging-Plattform, dass es weit unter seinen Möglichkeiten zurückbleibt. Meine Erlebnisse auf den SteemFesten verbinden mich trotz allem noch mit der Community.
Ansonsten ist es eben leider völlig korrekt, was ich oben geschrieben habe, oder siehst du das anders?
Opogie googie muncha nuda tu
Hast du eigentlich mittlerweile Schachspielen gelernt?

Ja, Gut'Nacht. :)
Most of us don't. You know that, I know that. But as you say, most of us skim it for anything that might be pertinent to current thinking or for anything vaguely not shitposty. ie, stuff about the platform or mechanics that are being discussed to control stuff about the platform, like the pegging of HBD.
So no. We don't go there for content as a rule but it's worth a skim to keep up to date with what's happening. And you know that and you admit you do it. Just not enough in this case. It was more than a week or two, I would say it was a raging hot topic for a while.
I'm not judging. We all take time out. But it wasn't some minor thing hidden away.
So back to my point. Whilst trending is renowned for not being where people look for content. Most still skim it to see what happening. Even those who use L2s as is apparent by their sudden appearance on trending topics.
