In my opinion is really hard to get real readers and real voters, a post that didn't get much votes on the first 30 min, it will probably die in the bottom of this posts world lol. I made a couple of posts to trending in the # I used, not in the general trending page, and it didn't help me much with the real readers and upvoters, is great to think that we could have a more distribute power on the voting system, you are making an awesome work here, this is a really great way to help each other.
