In my opinion, the trending page should be fully organic, by allowing paid posts on trending page we are just spreading a false message to the whole community members as if these are the recent hot discussion on steemit but sadly which is not true most of the time.

Spot on, and well said. unfortunately people on steem have been indoctrinated into seeing black as white and down as up in a lot of cases. Peeps have been saying all of this for years and the vote sellers have just been laughing and saying 'what you gonna do about it'.

That's an over simplification, but you get what I'm driving at... good sense is thrown out of the window when a bunch of powerful people see an opportunity to get richer off the back of a system exploit.
