I think hot provides an interesting insight. I actually agree with you, in the current form - hot is probably the best.
This post really just shows how much work steemit needs to do on their front end. Communities can't come sooner.

People lose interest very quickly if they get the wrong impression. This front end is the shop window for steemit.
Exactly. I think Reddit's "front page of the internet" is a pretty good grab to new users, minus some inside jokes.
The problem here on steem is, I think @jesta has earned his 2k on that post. There is very much a reason he is making that much on the post - there was so much more value behind what he wrote, not directly tied to what he had to say in that post. Most people wouldn't even want to read it (sorry @jesta, not everyone is technical).
The thing with steem is the value a post is earning might not be correlated to the "clickablity" or value of the writing in a post. There needs to be more segregation of content here on steem. Niches will be the key. @kushsmokers is making strides in the very arena I am talking about.
I really hope communities fixes a lot of this. Just don't show the trending posts from /developers on the main page. Boom done.
Well said.
A quick fix now is to use another tab as the default, with communities you might be able to show localised content or relevant content first which would be great but if its left as trending I am sure there will still be some great technical articles, or celebrity posts that make it to the top.
Anything reasonable that can be done to improve the clickability is welcome in my book.
