You couldn't be any more right. The low quality of some of these trending posts shocks me, while I've seen many good posts with zero votes and 0.0 dollars. I'm not mad at the posters, I respect anyone who makes money, just stating the truth as I see it.
I have no problem with the current system. People with more steem should have weighted votes, and its also not my system, I joined an existing social network. . .
However, I can't imagine the average reddit user told about steemit would lok at the trending page and say to herself, "yep, switching."
Steemit has the potencial to grow into a large diverse community that pays its users for high quality content and high quality responses to that content, monetized upvotes is something that is a wonderful idea, but if the trending page is cryptocelebrities I've never heard of and technical readings of todays bitcoin charts, that's not going to attract new users.
