That quote had more to do with the folks who've decided the trending page simply isn't for them. Those people aren't reading the latest news hitting the top slots or seeing the variety of content hitting top slots from time to time.
Steem was looking pretty decent when I showed up like one day before shit really hit the fan. So wherever we were at, at that point, combined with this rejuvenated spirit to get shit done; we should start seeing some results.
I should have started my original comment off with a 'thank you'. I just dove right in and kinda sounded prickly but that wasn't my intention.
The current trending page on Hive reminds me of the early days of Steemit. Everyone is pumped up though. I personally feel these folks, yourself included, deserve to be rewarded for these efforts behind the scenes. It is a lot of Hive content though. Probably too much but we have to deal with it, for now.
People are grumbling though, as they will. Patience and teamwork though. You're right, I agree, and hopefully anyone else reading can see where we're at. There's a lot of previous experience to learn from and I have trouble believing anyone here wants to fuck this up.
What I'm suggesting isn't taking rewards away from anyone though. Could have a 'trending' tab and a 'Recent Developments' tab side by side, everyone gets paid and the consumer can find the important behind the scenes stuff easily. I feel that information is valuable but does not mix well with what potentially thousands of contributors also have to offer.
Maybe someone will come along with an even better idea. I can handle that.
I agree it needs to be improved for sure, and I believe that is the plan. I do hope people have patience though.. as while it may seem like the fork was ages ago to some.. the web wallet just went up.. people are still working hard on the aspects that go into setting up a project.. I'd say they have gone back into curating yet.. I know I haven't.. as I sit up for the 8th night in a row spending hours filling out the most intense applications for exchanges and market cap ratings that people seem to just think happens. There is a lot to do.. and just looking at the trending page.. yeah it fucking sucks. But I'm gonna need everyone to just understand that we will get there.
First we should probably have a platform that actually works though.. and a coin actually worth something.. so content creators have somewhere to share their work 😅
This isn't directed at you btw.. we do need better tools, better content discovery and a better trending.. I guess it's just disheartening to see the complaints already starting when we literally are still getting things up and running. Sure doesn't make me want to stay up to 3am again working on stuff 😂 but damnit we gotta build it before they can come!
Hey! Everything you said is exactly why I said I'd tolerate it, for now. LOL!
I get it. Some people don't get it. Maybe they will get it after all these words. Maybe not.
I think it's doing a fine job of showing off, which is cool. People should be proud of this. It's a big deal, no doubt.
I know everyone is working hard back there.
Everything I'm talking about is for the future. Not right now. It's actually nice to be able to say there's a future. That's a new recent development as well.
Thanks.
Yes, agreed.. nothing is perfect and we have a long way to go. I hope people will just have patience as we work through the rest of these aspects that need to be done before we can all focus on content again. We will get there!
