@colinhoward That is thoughtful of you, and although I haven't been around here for long, the trending page should be for quality content. Not, content boosted by bots, else what is the difference between Facebook, and a decentralized platform like Steemit? That requires you to pay for visibility.
There should be a clear separation between the trending page, and the promoted content, all content with less or no engagement where bots were used, should show in the promoted tab, and trending should be where people are engaging with the content, organically I suppose.
It is funny how you go to trending page to find some quality content, and what you get it is a spammy post, with some product pitch, or hardly any content.
But I do believe one day, the trending page will show content that deserves that place.
Thank you. Cheers!
