I for one read stuffs on Trending and the Hot section but mostly skips authors that I know are only just using bidbots to boost their content into trending. 

As someone who have been here for over half a year now, I now know who writes whatever random things they can think of then boost it with bidbots eventually placing them a spot on Trending. So it gets literally easy who to skip next when browsing Trending.

Also I have seen those people who almost always say avoid the Trending section since it is just mostly posts being boosted by bots not organic votes, however I for one don't really see much issue in here. Quality is subjective and while many people don't really care much about Bitcoin-related news or a travel-life-blogstyle posts, others love it. I for one love reading personal blog posts rather than fictional stories.
