I don't bother looking at trending or hot. I found those I am interested in and through them find others like yourself. I can't stop those who wish to sell their voting power, nor those who wish to purchase it and it does not harm my immediate experience here as I don't even glance there.
I figure if Steemit inc wants to fix their demo project for their SMT's they can, but to waste my time trying to fix it for them is counter productive for my experience. The end result would probably be my getting flagged down to nothing while business as usual continues.
Yep, I exploded. I was wrong. I actually agree with you. It isn't my stake and it isn't my investment.
It's ok. Better to rant and move on than bottle it up. We all have our breaking points and in hindsight often leaves us scratching our head that we don't view things as clear cut as our mind tells us we should.
