Yeah, lots of that circle jerking ongoing; I closed my eyes for it a long time ago. Never look into trending and hot channels. Concentrate on those who are more or less genuine. Best way to go around our blockchain.
I was trending once. I received downvotes right after and was no longer trending. I am convinced they have bots that detect if an undesirable user is trending to give downvotes to so only a certain group gets promoted.
Could be indeed. I hope we can grow in a sustainable way in which we only have a few bad actors. However, it could also be that a few bad actors are destroying all we are trying to build here.
