As a newbie, and without knowing very much about how the site has developed, I appreciate your contribution. I'm here to post good quality content and be modestly rewarded, but it seems visibility is a problem and the playing could hardly be less level. Your organic trending page idea is clearly desirable but just as clearly certain to be unwelcome to some those with the power, who are presumably happy with things as they stand. It seems to be the flaw at the heart of Steemit's decentralized model: there are no enforceable rules, which brings out the worst in people, just as it only takes a riot for people to go right out and start looting the stores. The encouraging thing is there seems to be a feeling that something must be done and I've seen plenty of posts beside yours putting forward constructive suggestions. Good luck.
