I understand that, and that is a fair argument in support of the bid bots. The STEEM Guild days basically gave birth to the Trending Page Club - and if you weren't in the club, you were never going to be.

That said, a post from a nobody like me could sometimes slip through the cracks every now and again to the top of trending. Of course, never consistently.

These days, though, it's literally impossible.

There are not enough words in my pretentious fucking head to craft a post so perfect that it would make it to the top these days.

But I still get your argument.
