Great point. Then trending algo is really easy to change. They could play with just how the trending page is sorted and have a lot of impact.

Ned is the driver of the "quality content" idea. One of his main goals is to find a way to sort the best content using cryptocurrency incentives. It would be great if the steemit inc team communicated their vision very clearly with the community.

I appreciate your "unpopular" opinions. They are the only kind that are interesting. Cheers
