I keep seeing this thread of thought concerning the trending and hot page. Yeah there is some stuff that I would not click on, not my topics of interest. But as for it being only 4 authors and those being whales and getting massive pay-outs with no views and no work? Please post at least ONE example of what you are talking about.
Is it @berniesanders? He creates Drama for one reason, and that is to make money.
Is it that you think the following top five at 11:45am on trending page,
Are shit posters? Reality is a thing of perception.
If you click trending, then click the topic on the left of your choice you will see who is trending or hot in those areas, (That's assuming you use steemit as your portal, I have no idea how the blockchain looks on other sites such as busy.org). When making a post remember a person is allowed to use upto 5 tags, so you may see the same post in other areas.
Like I said there have been many post of this nature, about whales and shit post, yet none ever put up an example of what they are talking about.
