I think Steemit as an art platform still has looooooooooooooooong roads, in terms of being able to actually recognize talents and mark them as noteworthy (or "trending")... Too much obfuscation in terms of what is actually quality contents in Steemit at the moment :(

Current Steemit's arts contained under "Trending" is.... uh... is no where near looking respectable for a top page of a blogging platform, sad to say!

But, I'm sure if we all contribute continuously and steadily try to promote real quality and real talents, changes are possible? :D
