RE: Blogging, Social Media... and Steemit's "Coming of Age?"
odds are they'll click on Trending and see the ocean of overpriced mediocrity that dwells there and think I've lost my good sense for recommending this place. Lost sale, bada-bing. Lost credibility for me, bada-double-bing.
maybe we should get rid of "Trending"
Your point is that we should make of Steemit what we as individuals want to contribute...Trending is simply the catalog of bid-bots and circle-jerkers
...and it wouldn't matter if it wasn't..."Trending" is never going to appeal to everyone anyhow!
Can't wait for communities to be implemented, it may help get newbs pointed in a more relevant to them picture of Steemit than "trending" could ever do
Excellent post, thank you!
Thanks Steve.
Yes, let's get rid of Trending. Or rename it "Richlist," and make it completely separate tab from a "best of Steemit" that ONLY includes hand curated content chosen by trusted teams of community members. As I suggest in the main text, farm it out to @curie, @qurator and @c-squared... they all have manual curators who do have a clue. Make "Best of Steemit" actually mean something...
goes back to the basic problem, tho...hmmm, actually two of em...
I don't blame the devs on this, it's just the way the baby bounces, and I'm not sorry we are still in Beta; there are still things on the community-sharing side that need to be looked at (crosses fingers...communities)
Drop Trending and go with a list of tags by alphabet? (can be gamed), by popularity (gamed big-time!), or something else (that can be gamed ;>)
No easy answers

works for me.
