RE: Steemit Alternative Trending Page - Curation The Fair Way
If it had to be automated, maybe it could be an algorithm that took into account reputation (giving a boost to those who have lower reputations), followers (again, giving a boost to lower followers), number of views/comments/votes, and then--and this part is crucial--disqualify those that have used known bidbots. The advantage to lower reputation and followers wouldn't be so immense that it would totally disqualify veteran users, but the bar would be much higher for what hit trending. You would also have a slight advantage if you had never hit trending before.
Of course the only way to make a trending page properly would be to have manual curators vetting material and voting on it.
Yes yes yes! I was just discussing with my husband how to take bots out of the picture. Our conclusion was that if we excluded accounts over a certain amount of SP from being counted towards comments/votes on a post, that should cut most of them out of the scenario. This of course has its drawbacks but it’s something to experiment with.
I also think that manual curation is key as well!
Thanks so much for your feedback 🙏
