Maybe we should let people like what they wish to :) It is his day. Be happy for him.

I doubt anyone likes this so much to place 1k from the reward pool. Rewards are coming from the "smart" bidbots and their trails.

Well, I'm new here and don't know everything about how things work. Perhaps, it is too good to be true and somehow I preferred believing the good. I thought people here really value simplicity. Like voting for a simple day journey of a bartender. Maybe the world isn't actually that nice 😁

You've been duped and mislead by false advertising. You're one of thousands. This member paid for this slot on the trending page. Most new members do not realize that is the case and end up wasting their votes on this trending page rather than each other, then can't figure out why they struggle to get noticed. A minnow will not earn anything by voting for a post with this many votes.

Would you pay Walmart for leaving a flyer in your mailbox and be excited about having a chance to read it? In a nutshell, that is what people are doing when they vote and get excited over these trending posts.

Majority of the posts on trending are advertisements/paid programming. The things we skip when we want to watch a Youtube video.

Now you know.

Guess I do.

Many here an opinion that and they state like it is a fact. My advice is to watch a bit before deciding how you view it.

One issue is that we all have different visions and everyone thinks theirs is the best one. (of course, if not they would change it)

Don't let anyone else tell you how to view the platform.
There is no central authority on how it works or what it should be.

All you have to do is read the context and you'll see how that new member was misled by false advertising. That's fact, not opinion. It's right there in front of you.

Why are you attempting to discredit what I said?

And here's a post explaining how the use of bots is advertising/marketing/paid programming; whatever you want to call it:

You're in that post cheering on this terminology and supporting it. Why not stand by your words?

I agree 100% bro, i wish everybody nothing but the best, but this content is not in relation to the worth! Mr. Bartender delivering this density of quality could be very happy with 50 bucks.
Looks like Bot Abuse.

Completamente de acuerdo contigo

Maybe you should start posting more pictures of your coffee and blogging ;)

Is there a possibility that jealousy is guiding you somewhere unhealthy?
Or....you are the gold among thousand of sands.. Could be this too.

@annieliu my community holds almost 4M SP. I couldn't be jealous even if I wanted to. I am against where this platform is going. A platform driven by bidbots.

Had to google what is bitbots, newbies here, not really, but haven't been active since last year.

Nem todos podemos gostar do mesmo Elear.. :-)

agreed mate! I was thinking the same

I have to ask.... If we, our selves are allowed to decide if our content should, or should not take the front page, the actual top spot, in front of all other posts, above all other creators, of a social media site then who are the rest to complain about it?
You can neither complain nor can you do anything. You arent really fighting him, nor can you do much, youre fighting millions of delegated SP.
Lets see what happens when bots get a hand of more delegation... 80%-90% etc..
Youll be throwing pebbles at tanks.

....we need a separate Trending page....

Yes I do, that is my opinion!
