Trending page is good, just jealous people complain about rich people. I think we have to learn from the trending page, we have to do what they do. Some people from trading page post even 10 times per day or more. If they are earning that much, they deserve it, if they are there, they are there for a reason. If a person was already famous on youtube, he will automatically be famous in steemit. We have to deserve that page, we have to fight for it, we have to create good stuff to be there. Every hard work has to be rewarded sooner or later. We have to keep trying, I've been here for more than 9 months and still earn sometimes cents from my posts, but it doesn't mean that I have to leave or give up, I earn sometimes a few steem dollars and I'm happy about that, because I work for my future, not for today. I hope more people understand that trending page is for the best people and we have to work hard to be there, my goal is to be there, my goal is to become a whale even if it takes me 10 years. Facebook also was nothing in the beggining and only people who invested there a lot earned a lot. But look at it now, it's still the same, if a person has something good to provide he will be famous everywhere. So we have to build our community everywhere and we will be in trending pages everywhere. ☺

Posts end up on the trending page because of dollar amounts, not total vote count. The 10x per day poster you are referring to receives 90%+ of his reward from 2 voters, ranchorelaxo and himself. If those two didn't vote for him, he wouldn't be on the trending page. You can receive the most votes, hundreds or thousands, and not get on the trending page. If you have a lot of steem power, you can be on the trending page every post you make just by upvoting it yourself. It's everything we hate about the real world, but it's hidden behind fake idealism.
I couldn't have said it better myself. If the Steem Power was more distributed then we wouldn't have all this. There is no way that the majority of Steemians would vote for that stuff to go to trending. STEEM will actually be worth more if the tokens were more distributed.
If the posts in trending page are displayed based on the combination of no of views, votes and rewards. Maybe it might look better.
