RE: How to get rid of trending psychology ?
Great theme!
I sometimes notice that good content is lost among the top posts in the steemit, for example. And some nonsense is in the top, because its author - some famous person.
On the one hand, it upsets people who are good creators but who don't have popularity yet.
On the other hand, they can make an effort and become popular, and then each of their post will collect a lot of likes.
The disadvantage of popular people is that sometimes they themselves don't understand whether they have done something good and useful, or they are supported only because of their popularity (herd effect in people when they like those who already have a lot of likes).
Yeah, I understand you if there are no upvoting bots. So, let me inform you. In steem we have big accounts with a lot of steem power, they accept steem and in return they upvote people with good votes, so in trending and hot pages we have a lot of people who buy those votes. But I prefered to not buy them and to improve only with dapps, and most of dtubers do. But I think there is no issue in buying those votes, it's just like an advertisement in facebook or google, anyone can buy that. The issue is in people that think that only trending content is good content, and that's why they comment, like, and interact mostly with that type of content, while we can find much better content from people who even never was trending or hot. Maybe we think that if we interact with trending content, that will help us to improve and grow, but I think that's not true, we just have to be original and special. ☺
I understood. Thank you!
