How To Fix The Trending And Hot Page
First I want to say good for anyone who is on the trending page and the hot page. I am not hating on anyone. If you are wondering why you see a lot of the same people on the trending and hot pages is because they have high SP and know people who started on here who also have high SP. There is no conspiracy, it is only logical that their work would make it to the top more often than others. But maybe we can make it easier for newer users to make it or shake things up so there are more times when different people are showcased.
Here is what I am thinking. We make it so that you can only be on the hot list once a day and the trending page once a week. It would not be that hard to set up (I think) we can put it in the algorithm. If person x is on the hot list then person x cannot be on the hot list for 24 hours. That way people can still get their upvotes and money but we can have other people get the views. It is a system that might work for rewarding people without punishing those who have the SP.
What do you think?

Maybe they could just rename those pages to "Been on Steemit A Long Time" & "Has Lots of SP"?
It might clear up a lot of confusion for people who go there thinking it represents the best content Steemit has to offer.
When did trending ever mean best? ;) I don't think that's a reasonable expectation. Trending and hot imply popularity and/or success and when did popularity start having a direct correlation to quality? ;) Ever? 😜
That is sadly so true.
Okay that gets an 80% upvote from me.
I will graciously accept your 80 % upvote and offer in return my minnowly 0.06.
YES! :p
hmm, I like that idea.
I do not bother with either of them very often. I prefer the new, and my feed.
I have heard about the Circle jerking,and same people all the time,so I intentionally avoid those pages(private clubs),after all they are not for me and my fellow minnows!
I would rather help those who need the help.
Just IMHO.
Namaste
It certainly could level the play field somewhat.
I think it's worth a try...

I think it's a pretty solid idea, it would definitely give new users a better chance to thrive. I am sure, however, that the big boys would not like this.
At first blush, I consider this a remarkable idea, well worth considering.
It was also worth my strongest up-vote. ;)
😄😇😄
P.S. And worthy of Re-Steeming. ;)
stunning eyes and very good post
I think this is a more workable idea. Hope that happens pretty soon
Number of actual views would be a good factor
I think it would be beneficial especially to the new comers.
Makes a lot of sense, would definitely be nice to see coming from ol' minnow me :) I'm going to read your linked article now.
