RE: The trending trap: A better way to view Steemit content
I have a much simpler idea - just adjust the algorithm for trending so it's not so heavily weighted by money earned. There's stuff that gets much more votes but misses the trending page because it never caught the eyes of whales. I say weigh trending page more towards a bit more towards raw number of votes.
At least for a while, so they get the attention of whales.
I agree that it would be better to add less weight to the amount of money earned and more on raw votes, but I also like my idea that each user can tweak the balance between age and popularity to what they're looking for a the moment.
I agree - giving the user the choice will certainly help. But they need to get the basics right first.
