@krnel , thanking for taking the time to read the article in detail and for the detailed comment. Lol I think it is one of the longest comments I have seen :) You make very good points and I won't be able to reply to each and every point. We are however on the same page where it comes to quality content, and the the developers of the platform are doing a great job and keeping out spammers and scammers. Sure one or two slips through every so often, but that is due to happen.

I also don't spend my time on the trending page, and would love to see people spending more time in the New and Active tabs of the platform. In my view this is where the good content hides. Although it is not all about making hundreds or even $1000's of dollars, due to the fact that most people spend a lot of time on the trending pages, this is where your voice will be heard the loudest, hence needing to have a more balanced voting power split. To push the good content to the top.

I am also a believer in working at the content, topics and articles to ensure you are getting better and better. I have a few life philosophies, and one that I want to highlight is that if you surround you by more clever people than you, you can actually learn something.

Time, effort, energy, persistence, determination, dedication. If you have that, and you actually talk about meaningful things, then it will pay off eventually.

I love this statement, as this is how life works. Thanks again for the comment and peace to you as well.
