I am also sick of this trend, only a few people are coming to the trending page everyday and most of the times, 2 to 3 posts from the same person are hanging around in the trending and hot page, i mean steemit is becoming a joke with this kind of the stuff, we need a solution for this so that hard working newbies also get some rewards and they don't just quit the platform altogather @ats-david
just my thought: good point but they have built their reputation over time and cause of that some/not all gets auto votes not sure by whom and by how many, I am just guessing and with that, they make it to trending..if only the votes can be lowered down and some will be used for manually curating instead of bots then other may continue to benefit, like us the minnows....but i don't know this is just my opinion as a minnow :)
