Unpopular opinions
I find great articiles when I look at trending. (not every one of them are amazing but there is plenty that is of interest.)
1 vote per account is a HORRIBLE idea. #Bots4Everyone
People are too obsessed with trending being a perfect representation of "best quality". There are other ways to bring us the content we want.
"TRENDING" is more or less just a website page with an algorithm. It can be changed easier than you think. Another site could show a different page with a different algorithm... heck you could even have a browser plugin to do stuff like that.
Great point. Then trending algo is really easy to change. They could play with just how the trending page is sorted and have a lot of impact.
Ned is the driver of the "quality content" idea. One of his main goals is to find a way to sort the best content using cryptocurrency incentives. It would be great if the steemit inc team communicated their vision very clearly with the community.
I appreciate your "unpopular" opinions. They are the only kind that are interesting. Cheers
