There is some info that maybe developers will change that trending page will be according to number of votes instead of voting power weight. That can still be manipulated but at least some minnows will have more chance to be seen and SP will mean less for influence on trending page than before...

But then posts getting huge rewards won't be visible to the general public which opens hundreds of doors for abuse. Not to mention that advertisers will stop buying steem and SBD to advertise here.
It will be visible because usually people with large SP have lot of followers and they will still get many votes.
I think separate top voted and top rewarded would work, nothing stops a whale from making a throwaway account and making a posts with tags like #ghjkesdu and upvoting them to fuck apart from the trending page.

Ok @cicbar i will wade back into you on this here, as I see that @sisygoboom has stepped in which is great !) So i agree with you both on the thing as its true for both the available criterias avaialable they produce i think negative effects on visibilty of "true" and " good " content, as the algorithim of steem lists to the trending page posts which have the most weight in rewards in dollars and not especially based on the " true and real readership and enjoyment" of a post ! Something which clearly many posts we are seeing on the trending page lack as they are there due to " gsming" of the system and not especially because the post interests anybody at all ! To cite an example lol @haejin ))
So what I think we need to do and it would be very simplke to effectuate is to add one button which can only be enacted by a click with a mouse and not by the present "robot" control regime of accounts permissions !
So that if a user " has" read the post and has truly enjoyed it he or she could click this " steemit@pproved" button to submit it to the algorithim which would simply create the read@approved trending list based on this particular information and not like now on purely finacial rewards ! This would solve the problem and would revolutionise Steemit as its trending page would be full now i am sure with the " great content " surely out there but not visible !Sp improving greatly the experience of Steemit for all ! We could have another section for the list of higest rewarded post or the present trending list of post based on money and that would i guess make people dream or get angry as ever and now ? lol
I liked idea of @sisygoboom that we should have most rewarded and most voted columns. If we can add on that your idea that we somehow stop robot votes, that would be perfect for Steemit :-)
well agreed @cicbar ) But my idea was that no ?? The number of votes is not a good criteria to judge real good content posts as the number of votes is again an information which is based on robotic style votes and trails, so not representative or a refelction of real user feedback ! My idea of a seperate "read@approved" button would be the way that users enjoyment factor could be counted and supplied in a new " Consensus" list and provided by Steemit,s algorithim !
