What other site would award you 65$ for complaining about it?
Heh. I almost never look at the Trending page. I learned that awhile ago and have been here a little over a month. I use the feeds feature so I can catch stuff from people I am following, but I also try to spend a bit of time in NEW so I can give new people a chance. I try to follow new people that are interesting. If I'm really not seeing anything I might look at HOT, but honestly I rarely need to go outside of NEW and FEED. When they finally make it to where we can subscribe to certain tags I'll likely be checking anarchism, and such regularly as well, but most of the anarchism stuff is preaching to the choir with regard to me at the moment. It is a great opportunity to expose other people to it though.
Hang in there.... It is beta and they still need to do a lot of work on discover ability. I checked and we are at about 76,000 subscribers. Can you imagine how hard this place would be to navigate if they were at double or triple that number. They definitely need a way to be able to sift through the quantity of material. Subscribing to tags will let you make sure not to miss the things you generally like, and then if you check NEW every so often you might find things you didn't know you liked.
Yessir I totally agree that for interesting reading New is where it's at on Steemit, other than the Feed page of those I've chosen to keep up with. It's probably the best place to find articles to upvote before the whales and bots find them for that matter. Facebook (and Google) have built in algorhithms that constantly feed you more of what it thinks you like based on past behavior (things you've liked, stories you've already read). As tens of thousands more people join, the diversity of Steemit is sure to be off the charts.
Also, great point about needing to add a subscribe to favorite tabs feature as well @dwinblood
thanks for the good information. Where do I find the "FEEDS" feature? @dwinblood
When you are on the place where it shows Comments, Replies, etc. Here I made you a screenshot.
You can also get to it by clicking on your avatar in the upper right that is next to SUBMIT A STORY and click on FEED in the menu that pops up.
This will show you only articles from people you are following.
Oh hell yes! Thanks for the tip @dwinblood. I didn't know we had that feature.
Just remember to follow enough interesting people to build your feed to offer all the intellectual stimulation you want!
@barrycooper the feed is best, you only find your favorites there. You are in my feed.
I see you follow Luke, Jeff, Adam... you might consider @larkenrose @corbettreport (James can be annoying though) @bravetheworld @charlieshrem @rogerkver @madbitcoins (You've seen Thom Hunt, he's entertaining) and for just getting yer rocks off @petitefille, she's a "Happy Cam Girl" college student in Russia. {:^P
I'd be honored if you decide to follow me as well, but I've been warned about begging.
@dwinblood wow, I had no idea the site looked like that. :^)
Seriously, I always customize the PC colors so my window backgrounds are dark grey.
I like the text to be a light grey. This way the monitor isn't pumping bright light in my face, and since I work in a dark room, it helps with my eyes adjusting.
Problem is; changing the PC's colors WIPES AWAY things like the blue bar, the white bar at the top.... my screen is ALL dark grey, just pics and text.
hes just fucking with you
I also stay pretty much in the NEW and FEED section. I have found many great posts and followed a lot of people who had interesting thing to say. I run through the trending once in a while, because it is the default, but i haven't seen anything exceptional on there. Mostly whale/dolphin orgies. Like I said to Barry, mental masturbation.
easy bro.... easy
You lost me. Though that's not always hard to do. My head is often in the clouds.
:)
How about forget Trending and look at your own feed as well as category pages that interest you?
Front page Trending is a sort of least common denominator and absolutely isn't for everyone.
Thanks @smooth. I learned that last night from another commenter in this thread. I didn't know Steem had the feed feature. Thanks for the tip and the vote.
Also, unlike some other sites you can look at other people's feeds. So if you know of someone who shares your interests you can take a look at their feed to find new authors or posts to read or follow yourself. Hope this helps. Thanks for being here writing @barrycooper!
To tell you the truth, Barry, I have yet to find a whole lot of intellectual stimulation in any of your posts.
So you plan on posting here such mind opening missives as how to pass a pee test, earn thousands of dollars, and then go to Facebook for your intellectual stimulation?
Best of luck with that, Barry.
show me one post of yours that surpasses the lowest barry post
Oh wait you have no posts
stupid fucking idiot
There ya go. I knew I was retarded. Thanks for the confirmation @indominon. What's a "missive." Be right back. Gonna go smoke another joint.
@indominon I can think better now that I had a puff of the devil's lettuce. I found one of my intellectual pieces of content that you may have overlooked. Take a look: https://steemit.com/barry/@barrycooper/that-s-some-hoe-ass-shit
The quality of content the whales are curating is at least 1000x times better than three weeks ago. I, for one, am very optimistic about the future of Steemit content.
Me too !
So you are saying it was worse? My god. I need to go smoke another joint. Be right back.
hey, @barrycooper! this didn't trend, so wonder if you saw it? i believe it's a bit stimulating ;-) follow me for more! https://steemit.com/life/@erikaharris/an-african-sex-technique-where-men-get-to-worship-at-the-throne-of-vagina-and-bow-before-the-queen-clitoris-a-researched
LMAO
Yo @erikaharris I absolutely love the article and will try the technique with Mia for sure. Can't wait to see you at Anarch! Glad you are working with our crew there. Oh....I followed you too!
aw, thanks so much for taking the time to read it, (and follow)! :-) i am JAZZED about anarch, too, and working with you and the NGB crew. sending oceans of love to you + mia, @barrycooper!!
easy vagina girl, easy
I need to read this. I hope it's fun and not too serious
@mammasitta, lemme know what you think :-)
Erica ! So nice to meet you . I am reading all of your articles right now and for sure you got me to follow you for more . You deserve some attention . 💕
hey, @mammasitta. awesome to meet you, too! and thanks for your sweet feedback. you are a talented designer! love the steeming logo you made :-)
I did not make the logo @bendjmiller222 is the talented one. I wish I would know how to do such designs
oops! it's entirely too late, and my eyes are crossed, lol. apologies, @bendjmiller222 for the misattribution. thanks for correction, @mammasitta!
I was going to tell him about that! As usual, all the best conversations happen while I’m asleep…
Hi Erika, your vagina is not a god, let me tell you that
@feminism: vagina-atheist, huh? that's cool, lol.
:) shut the fuck up erika
But darling ! All vaginas are unicorn goddesses 🦄 Aren't they ? 😜
I think if there is a unicorn horn on the vagina it may be a transexual 😉
I had a clitoris in my mind Ben haha
I love your honesty! I'd love to make you some t-shirts if you want to sell them to some of your followers. Let me know what you think.
And yes sometimes there are things I don't feel should be trending, but it's a free market so you just have to do your own thing and not worry about that.
Ben ! That's amazing !
Thank you. Working on getting back my Photoshop/illustrator skills. Would be happy to make you something @mammasitta (for free of course) I sent an idea for a shirt for Rok maybe and I've been doing more design work lately and enjoying it.
Yes pleaseeeee
OK I'll message you on Facebook in a few hours. 4am means time to sleep haha :)
whoa bro. I love the design. Can I use it. I don't sell T shirts but would love the logo you made. It's fantastic!
Thank you. I'd be happy to let you use it and possibly send you one for free. I work for a screenprinting embroidery business and am looking to open an online shop and sell shirts from there. If you have anything design wise you'd want I could put them together for some of your followers and ship them out as prizes or figure something out I'm sure. Feel free to message me on steemit chat ( bendjmiller222) or tell me the best way to contact you. I have an idea for @dollarvigilante as well. Just listened to your podcast together today. You live an interesting life. Made me want to look into ayuasca as you are the fourth or fifth person who has had an enlightenment from the drug.
Hopefully able to watch the documentary this weekend now that things have died down a little bit.
@bendjmiller222 Can you please email me at [email protected]. I want to chat with you sir.
Emailed youso feel free to make any requests you have or any sort of conversation you wish to dialogue about. Glad to have you here on Steemit
give him the tshirts for free Ben
:) go to sleep fuckboy
It's still the early days and the whales are figuring curation out. I wouldn't focus too much on what the trending articles are - more on putting out your own good content and building relationships on here.
yeah, keep repeating that and people will believe it
You aren't retarded Barry. You are just really good at getting us to click on your articles and read them! If you go away from Steemit for a few days it will be calling you in your sleep. Baaaaaaaarrrrrrryyyyyyyyyy Baaaaaaaaarrrrrrryyyyy!
easy bro
hahahah. You caught me @brianphobos. As I stated, I'm still going to author here and after reading my fan's comments in this posts, I learned some new techniques on how to find better material. Big love to man.
For sure 🙈 I am retarded to land here and clicked
I went to facebook to remember I know some people who like to hear what I have to say. They comment and like it, and we laugh. I needed a fix. :)
this is not an echo chamber buddy
