Most people don't realise how much scammy stuff goes on here that deprives them of rewards. They also don't appreciate that people spend time seeking it out and dealing with it for little in the way of rewards. I don't want to come across as a bully, but if we don't deal with some of the small cases then it will get much worse. Steem has really gone to shit now as nobody is dealing with it.
There are a core of us who really care about what Hive can be and will work to achieve it. That may conflict with what others see as a 'magic money tree'. So be it. We all get the choice on how we act and it doesn't have to be purely for self-interest. Mind you, we all stand to gain if Hive does grow.
I look at STEEM trending occasionally, but there are now language issues. The anti-abuse crew for the most part left and is now on HIVE, and there is little compared to what it was. We both know that, as before it was non-stop.
Hive trending is mostly English and Steem mostly Korean, so there is a cultural divide there. Just seems that on Steem it is largely through buying votes or the same few accounts self-voting. I think Hive is more diverse, but could still do better. Any good content should have a chance of trending.
