Its an interesting point of view, if you compare the trending page of steemit to Reddit's hot, It's a bunch of shit memes...

Instead of focusing on fixing the trending page, we need to view ahead and build a system similar to subreddits where content can be relatively moderated which I hope it is how hiveminds will eventually work because right now the only way to find decent content is browsing tags and even then tag spammers ruin certain tags.
