I remember the old days of Steemit and also Ned Scott and what you mention about curation bots. Certainly, it was very difficult to get to the trending page on Steemit in those days. Now with HIVE it's a bit easier to achieve such a feat.
Although if I'm being completely honest with you, I feel like I haven't been making progress on my HIVE account lately. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like I'm not moving forward no matter how hard I try. I'm not talking about being voted for every day, but lately I haven't achieved anything through my posts?
There seems to be something I'm doing wrong, and I can't figure out what it is. Anyway, getting back on topic, this makes it much more difficult for me to rank any of my posts on the HIVE trending page lately; and I would say that almost as much as in the Steemit era.
