I shared it in a chat as a great post, something I try to do often for undiscovered exceptional content. A few people said they think we need stuff like this on trending.. I guess Steemit Inc. was trying to get it seen?
I also agree that the “featured” section can be a bit confusing sometimes and many seem to prefer it to be Steem focused, but maybe they are just testing out some different concepts of how to use it specifically.
Just throwing in a bit of an explanation of how I saw it anyways.
