Do project updates not get cashed out? and devs don't fund their projects with the rewards pool? you have never seen freedom power down because he makes enough from leasing he does not have too.....I don't see that being powered up very fast, do you? Yes there is sell pressure from inflation, and shitty spammers and content. but fuck all is really going to good content in the general schemes of things. we wont attract good content creators if they come to steem and thing they gotta write about steem. and thats how trending looks.

That's the trending page on youtube.
The over concern about trending has been going on for almost 4 years.
"Good enough is eough"
I would tend to agree. but I am a marketeer/content creator and writing stuff on topics where people get emotional or that touches on peoples pain points is good for traffic and the strategy works time and time again.
