I can understand that many are hoping to receive a high upvote from an author of a post on the trending page, but usually it's too late for that. The author is busy, and they have many comments- they can only get to so many per day. I understand that- I am almost to the point where comments are overwhelming me. I am spending about an hour a day just responding to comments on my posts. But look at it this way- one day I will have too many comments to get to all of them. So I can see how an author of a trending post will respond to the comments that come in up to an hour after the post is published. Then they begin work on their next article, but their trending post is trending for two days. All those commentors hoping for a whale upvote are wasting their time at that point. They should go read and comment on that authors most recently published post- they will have a better chance of being noticed :)
