RE: Proposed Changes to the Trending Page Algorithm
Understand that this is NOT a "gripe," more a commentary on how Steemit might present in terms of attractiveness to future members and investors. A giant nepotistic slime pit is not going to "play well" to a greater audience... which would be a negative even for those sitting at the TOP of the pile.
From my own perspective... I'm six months and 280 unique blog posts in... I've had TWO in trending, and I'd modestly say at least half my posts are "magazine quality." So a bit curious...
open discussion is not a gripe, everyone is entitled to an opinion. From what i have been told, everyone on steemit is also entitled to a voice and opinion. And so I welcome comments from all sides of the playing field.
I am new here, I know nothing about blockchain, or cyrpto. But I do know about working platforms online.
if you are creating engagement, bringing new viewers to steemit with your posts, if more people are talking with you in your comments that the posts on the trending page, I feel this is more rewarding to steemit than existing established users voting for each others posts.
On saying that, a change to the fount end on the trending page to allow you sort by votes, comments, resteems...could also work well
@denmarkguy
I understand where you are coming from. I am new, though I am very thankful that my first post went straight to the trending page, but the rest of my posts that are even better are well, down to the bottom now.
Now as I get to know my followers and steemit friends, those who experienced the same are usually talented writers or artists. I might be wrong, but maybe, when they see someone new writing a great content, showing off his/her talent the first time, then they need to lure that person (worth keeping in the platform), then make her/him continue working hard while earning pennies.
I saw the trend, and this is just my hypothesis. Who knows, I might be wrong.
