You are right. There is so much trash posted its hard to find good content. I think a lot of people spend all their vote power voting only on posts that they expect will reach trending.
Often you can see 3 minute old posts (of high reputation people) with tens of upvotes already. I'm sure they could not even read it that fast.
Thanx for sharing my opinion. I'll spend my last dimes here on upvoting reactions like yours.
