Yes this is a problem.

Do you know why this problem exists?

Some whales, like @smooth, and other power users, pretty much only upvote certain people who have a 60+ reputation (not everyone who has 60+, only certain ones). They don't value the content for meaningful help of people, Steemit or the world. They just upvote for curation $$$$$$$$$$$$.

That is the problem with the Trending page. Peace.
