RE: Is @scipio The Sun That The Oracle Predicted A Year Ago?

Im planning to include this to SteemPlus as soon as an API is released.
Can t wait to see something else than chbartist 's crap on the said Organic Trending Page.
I m just worried that with a lot of users following them, the bid bots might have a high UA score.

The level of disgust and repulsion in me concerning the failed trending page could fill several novels. I will still argue that new front ends are band-aids and what’s needed is an entire overhaul of the code, so that real engagement becomes the desired metric and the one which is more lucrative than anything else.

The current trending page is not a real trending one. If we are honest we would all agree that it is indeed the PROMOTED PAGE, the trending page is comprised of the posts that are upvoted by Steem-ua

So SteemPlus would use the data from API of Steem UA to create a real organic trending page? Please explain further thanks

Yes, that is something we have in mind and after talking with scipio, it seems likely to come out in the future. That would be a costly routine to run on their end, so the more support they get, the earlier this will come out, I bet!
When it does, I could easily add a new tab to Steemit through SteemPlus, that shows the real organic trending page.
I don t disagree that doing it via our extension is a band-aid, but hey if you want it directly on Steemit, don t hold your breath ;)

Still, there are two possible problems with this approach:

• Bid bots probably have high UA since they have lots of followers, including whales (@jerrybanfield is in the top 100 for example).
• High UA users could become bid bots used to get higher in the organic page. It can be mitigated by power users unfollowing those who would do so.

I don’t use Steemit.com much these days as I’m happy with Partiko...

Maybe but most users use and will keep using Steemit. For lots, STEEM = Steemit.
So for these change to be effective, SteemPlus won t be enough, Partiko implementing it won t be enough either, but it sets a trend among the Apps and finally reaches Steemit, we will have done a good job!

I actually think that within one year Steemit.com will no longer be the dominant platform. I’d like to bet on this..

Good points. Jerry was a big content producer though so I think that’s why his number is so high
