Really appreciate this comment!

You are so correct, a large number of users are in-fact "gaming" the system promoting very questionable quality which is destroying the trending and hot list. I personally would like to see a new front end that showed clearly which posts have been boosted. That may come via third parties before much longer, causing much of our discussions to shift dramatically.

But even then, transparency is one of the keys to a successful platform and I thank you for supporting it.

Blessings.
