worth to note that there were other things on treding but the voting police kills them with 100% votes all the time to only let this on the front for new people to see when they come ;)
Hmmmm, and some way more meaningful posts won’t make it to the top. However, it is important to note that most of those posts are drawing attention to the overwhelming problems and challenges currently facing the steem ecosystem
Yeah, you’ve always tried defending the weak. They fought you, a battle that many didn’t understand and others supported.
Now, a lot many would be on your side. Most of the things you used to frown at and fought against on this platform were worth fighting against
Nothing of any interest whatsoever to the outside world. And I know you'll likely disagree with me on this, but we do have some entertaining content we could display.
I keep ringing the bell that when the good stuff does come (non-steem stuff in particular) we need to boost it onto trending, but everyone is so preoccupied with their own shit. It's frustrating.
My last post managed to land in Trending for a few minutes a couple of days ago. It was the first time in two years and it made me feel a bit nostalgic.
Yep, and you're one author who writes content I would consider good enough to be on Trending, that might actually attract people who don't care about Steem's issues...
I appreciate that. I'm working on a ton of new fiction this year (short stories, the sequel to Alarm Clock Dawn, etc.) I'll be testing the waters again to see how it's received here. I hope you're having a good 2020 so far!
Well there's my problem. No wonder my curation awards are such shit. I have voted for 3 out of the top 200 posts on trending, (autovoted that is). I have read 4 of the posts. Those 4 posts are about the only thing worth reading on trending.
This echo chamber seems to be getting a bit more of an echo to it as time goes on.
I find it hilarious how all those promo-steem posts are written on Steem lmao. It's like we're promoting Steem to those who already know about it. Smfh
I'd like to see more tldr posts on how steem has impacted lives on trending bc there's not a steady supply of that all the damn time without the suggested themes... 😵 As always I appreciate u telling it like it is...
Hey at least there's no flat earth posts on trending
You've been here for years and still think the steemit interface is on the blockchain and that you need a hardfork to do that? Jesus.
They could do what you are saying with a few lines of code in the user interface, nothing to do with the blockchain dude.
When people that have been here for years demonstrate clearly that they dont have a fucking clue about how shit works I think we have a huge problem.
The timing of them buying a shitload of STEEM to power up for their elaborate bots, right before the HF and dedicated downvote mana was impeccable.
Someone was thinking: 'look at this shitshow, we're gonna milk the fck out of this'.
The HF came:
IT IS VIOLENCE FOR YOU DO DOWNVOTE MY BLURRY PHOTO AND EIGHT KOREAN CHARACTERS BID UP TO $30!!!!! YOU HAVE WRONGED AND DISHONORED ME WITH THESE ATTACKS!!!
As I explained to you it was said in irony. I don't know why I waste my time responding to you when I could use that time cutting a skin tag off my ballsack with scissors.
That way some progress would be made whereas I can never get this minute back that it took to respond to you.
Added a ;) to my comment. I figured it was not needed but clearly is.
What a strange place. People are trying to burn the funds to keep more value from eroding. It is like pushing your car 10 miles so you can play your stereo to look cool when you could have just busted out a bluetooth speaker and played songs from your phone.
Fixing trending over the last 3 years wouldn't have been that hard to be honest but it certainly is a reflection of how incompetent Steemit Inc is.
Weird isn't it? Know what is even more weird? When you try to pull a discussion about some of these 'experiments', creating a well fundamented argument, and you are seen as the bad guy...
ROFL, he's the biggest abuser on this platform. How quickly people forget when his trash was trending daily. Now he's bitching about the others!? That's grand.
I'm more annoyed at seeing featured posts from people I don't care about at all. At least I can avoid trending, I would have thought that my feed would be a list of people that I could curate myself instead of seeing crap I have no interest in jammed in there.
I wish there was an easy way to show the minnows and red fish a quick way to earn $steem but everyone is busy concerned with their own profit share..too bad.
When I first joined steem on January 18th 2018 I was blank and did not know how bidniz runs around. I must admit my first 100 blog posts made $0.1 at most. I have never appeared on the trending page and some of my @steemitboard badges are still locked. But thanks to @elsiekjay & @jaraumoses for sparing some time and enlightening this afrokid.
When will I ever make my highest pay out post? I need a steemit shuga mommy to give me daily upvotes. Life is hard being a minnow on steemit.
reputation grows with a snail pace hahaha.
For newbies, onboarding steemit is like the first experience of an African village man getting on a mall escalator. So heartrending. No offense
@steamboy & @afrokid please follow @berniesanders then you will thank me later if you feel like you wanna. He is creating awareness that might help you improve your progress in this blockchain community.
Amazing! There's so many of those posts that I most often just curate art and photography...But it really does put me off going through them , especially because of resteeming.
This is because trending is based solely on payout rewards.
So the same group votes each other into trending.
How about change trending to the post with the most comments ?
Try that one.
Everything in life requires balance and trade-offs, including Steemit. I like that the "new new Steemit" has fewer bots, but until the Trending page is fixed (a ridiculously silly problem since beta), we're going to see continued adoption issues and continued lack of support for new users with limited stake. It's still like trying to find a needle in a haystack for good, original, content.
Before the trending posts were there because of bidbots now they are there because of the circle jerk. If you look at who voted for these posts it is remarkable how the same people upvote most of them.
Here I am again, to turn eyes from the unsightly to the insightful. Bold of me to assume anything, but if you're tired of this kind of content, I invite you to browse my work. It's certainly not this.
Trends seem to be based on steemit issues. I didn't know if this was good or bad. I hope it's a good sign. However, It shows that this is a troubled place.
These experiments like @burnpost should do it like @sbdpotato so they are not visible on the trending page.
Thanks to the magic development work of witness @stoodkev we have managed to automate the daily posts to 4 smaller posts capped at $25 each so they do not show up on trending.
Fuck this shit posts about SMT, we all known that this will never trulu happen, This info just keep this sinking ship away from dive into ocean of void.
worth to note that there were other things on treding but the voting police kills them with 100% votes all the time to only let this on the front for new people to see when they come ;)

This has been the trend for 2+ years...see what I did there?
Yeah, you’ve always tried defending the weak. They fought you, a battle that many didn’t understand and others supported.
Now, a lot many would be on your side. Most of the things you used to frown at and fought against on this platform were worth fighting against
LOL BERNIEDORE
you should do this often, maybe also one for "hot" and "promoted" as well
The Trend page summarizes the current status of Steemit.
Amen.
true
correction: the eternal status of Steemit
Nothing of any interest whatsoever to the outside world. And I know you'll likely disagree with me on this, but we do have some entertaining content we could display.
Anything would be better than this fucking trash.
I keep ringing the bell that when the good stuff does come (non-steem stuff in particular) we need to boost it onto trending, but everyone is so preoccupied with their own shit. It's frustrating.
shit, you find the most amazing gifs for the right times....

What's wrong with circles? Better than a octagonal-jerk. Tricky to get the angles right.

The perfect meme! Well played
Where is @themarkymark? He is the meme connoisseur. He would be like a kid in a candy store in here!
One of the first times I have ever up-voted a comment 100%. Your satire in this meme rivals John Oliver, Stephen Colbert and John Stewart combined!
I just laughed so hard I choked on my stew... thank you very much!
We simply need a larger trending page. Say the top few hundred posts on page one. Something decent has to trickle up.
Your not wrong, I have been harping on about Trending being full of unintelligible STEEM content for a while now.
If new people see this they think STEEM is just about STEEM and nothing else.
Still Trending is better than Pre HF21. Maybe the next fork can remove anything with the STEEM tag from Trending so it doesn't show up there ;)
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
You've been here for years and still think the steemit interface is on the blockchain and that you need a hardfork to do that? Jesus.

They got us for sure.

Maybe @berniesanders methods are more effective...
Yeah, here on STEEM a lot of people think I'm just negative and act like I'm just some meth baby tweaker talking to myself behind a dumpster.
Shit... That made me laugh pretty hard... Lol
ROFL, he's the biggest abuser on this platform. How quickly people forget when his trash was trending daily. Now he's bitching about the others!? That's grand.
At least was interesting entertainment... Sbdpotato and burnposts are boring...

I support this content :D
This is because trending is based solely on payout rewards.
So the same group votes each other into trending.

Try that one.
Same group keeping everyone down
They'd never want to do that, then you'd see people like me up there.
True. It a shame it’s 2 years of circle jerking.
Great minds think alike.. I posted/ranted about this ridiculous issue only a few days ago.. fun times!!
I guess it was 11 days ago..
https://steemit.com/steem/@evolved08gsr/q3nitr
TLDR;
After years and years of discussion about how awful the trending page looks, the trending page seems to look ATH awful.
That's because everyone with large SP refuses to be honest with themselves about why they're here.
Tell me Bern, brutally honest. Why you here?
(cos I'm 100% certain the real answer will apply to nearly all large stakeholders)
I have always been honest about why I'm here.
If steem torch come to me i will send it to you. I really wonder what will you do.
Hey it's @fitzgibbon. Haven't seen you around in a minute. Yeah, ATH awful. Lol it's almost oxymoronic.
Years go by, and nothing change....
Steem... Steem never changes...
And as a shameless promotion, here is some arguments why all these potatos won't achieve anything useful:

Before the trending posts were there because of bidbots now they are there because of the circle jerk. If you look at who voted for these posts it is remarkable how the same people upvote most of them.
And yet they think they're doing us all a favor. Ask them.
Why try if nothing happens
Here I am again, to turn eyes from the unsightly to the insightful. Bold of me to assume anything, but if you're tired of this kind of content, I invite you to browse my work. It's certainly not this.
Instead of quality content, powerful accounts fill trends. I don't think it's fair. I feel sorry for this.
Trends seem to be based on steemit issues. I didn't know if this was good or bad. I hope it's a good sign. However, It shows that this is a troubled place.
Free downvotes work right? Now we have a nice Trending page
The spam is gone, now it's a bunch of shit that nobody looking from the outside cares about.
and it looks for outside weired / scammy i think.
You can make them obedient
Trending posts should be posts that have quality and have benefits
I think without a stronger user base, there aren't many real trending posts
When I feel depressed I open steem and the outside world shines again !

Getting into trending used to be one of my goals when I first join Steemit. Didnt know it's such a joke.
These experiments like @burnpost should do it like @sbdpotato so they are not visible on the trending page.
Fuck this shit posts about SMT, we all known that this will never trulu happen, This info just keep this sinking ship away from dive into ocean of void.
We need a better trending page. Or dashboard page.
It's so crappy.
tbh i very rarely even look at the trending page...
Ruthless candor, I like that.
