I'm new to Steemit and the biggest thing that I had been hearing before I started was about the click bait. It's all about up-voting funny pictures instead of genuine content.
Because of this I make sure to skip straight to new articles and not entertain whats 'hot' or 'trending'. I hope that if enough people do the same, we can steer steem back towards upvoting genuine content, as I'm sure it was intended.
