RE: Proposed Changes to the Trending Page Algorithm
Hi @paulag!
Here is a proposal to ALL of the issues you are discussing. @elfspice has forked the Steemit code and is going to set up a new platform with fair rules. I strongly recommend you get in contact with him and the others working on this and offer your valuable insights.
Just comment on the post below if you want your account copied over to the new platform.
I know nothing about forks and blockchain, is this another site like steemit then?
Yes, it will be another site like Steemit.
They are copying the freely available code and fixing the things that have made it possible for a few people to dominate the network. Have a read through the articles on his profile. Please post questions to him. He is very responsive. I believe they could benefit greatly from your input. Well, actually, we all could. =)
well that was one of the best put compliments I have every received...
I have a background in programming, so I appreciate the work that you have put into the analysis of Steemit data. You, unlike many others on this network, understand, that there is freely available data that, when processed, can inform us exactly what is going on with this network. You process it, and give us facts and figures, rather than rumour and conjecture. You talk reason and sense. You are demonstrating the power of decentralised blockchain technologies.
I would like to see change also. So I fully support your work, not only by 100% upvoting, but by sharing your articles around in various comment threads to get the information out there.
BTW, I have now directed @elfspice towards you and your work in the hope that there might be a fruitful exchange between the two of you as you both share similar motivations. You, with your statistical analysis of how the network is ACTUALLY being used, COULD, play a very influential role in the course that the new social network, "Calibrae" takes.
But of course, this is all just hope upon my part. =)
@elfspice has responded to me suggesting your skills here:

Hopefully a site that corrects all the issues that Steemit is facing, like running out of memory and other scaling issues as well as the underlying inequities. Nothing to lose and lots to gain by signing up.
