It might as well go up to 6:1 or even more as my algorithm is not yet 100% accurate and about 4:1 was just based on the last day of data, so there could also be additional variation... the fact that remains is the Whales do vote more for authors with established reputation and when they vote for new users they do seem to give votes to content and authors that may not deserve it as much as others... I've been tracking some interesting cases and posting about them as well.

I do believe it has been improving over the past few weeks. Subjective point of view, however there has been a marked improvement in diversity in Author and Content on the Trending list. Still a long way to go, but I do believe it is in everyone's interests togged smarter with curation..
Maybe it is improving slowly, haven't got the data to analyze... not that it cannot be collected, but subjectively talking it really seems to be getting at least a bit better.
I'm not checking the Trending page often simply because it rarely has something interesting for me, and even if it does the chances are I have already read the post before it got there... the only positive thing I see there is pretty much that the rewards are at a more reasonable levels now with the Steem dropping in value. Otherwise they were really giving the wrong message going way to high and at the same time new users still struggling to make it past 0.00 or just a few cent rewards :)
