Maybe We Should Change The Trending Page To Something Else Temporarily?
So I know big changes are coming and we are going to probably going to have a big community page as our new home page on steemit. But maybe, for now, we can do a quick change so the trending page is not what shows up first when people visit the site. There are more and more people unhappy with it. And as much as I agree we need to look at the bigger picture with the update a small change might help keep people more engaged until the update comes.
If possible maybe we can have a contest page instead of a trending page. This way people will see a list of ways they can earn steem when they log on and have a bunch of fun ways to get involved on the site. This can bring in new users who can win contests to build up their account.
It is not a big change. We can keep trending as the second tab and organize the contest page by using the #contest. And if anyone puts a non-contest on there then we can flag it to get it off. I am open to other ideas to for the main page but I think the trending page needs to go, even if it is for now.
Or maybe the update is closer than we think.
Maybe keep trending so that the vote buyers can look at the size of their johnson. How about change the HOT and PROMOTED to something people would actually benefit from like your idea of contests?
I can't remember the last time I was on the Trending page and think it was probably a mis-click ;)
i think each and every single one that uses bid-bots should be in the promoted page. If they actually forced that to happen i bet in a week all the bid-bots will be out of the game
I directly agree. Since trending is a mess for ages. So just do something different by trial and error. And change the system each quarter.
actually that is a really good idea. The trending page is now full of post that use bots that provide upvotes. Nobody wants to see this. Basically it's like they are try to mess with us and with the people that wanna join the platform!
i'm still recommending steempeak as the way forward as it takes you straight to your feed. you can also save topics and users to search for plus it comes with dashboard. there is life beyond steemit folks, after all.
But yes, there should be improvement to the trending page, to see what's popular across all of steemit.
Contests are fine, but not something i'm into personally.
Pretty rare Im on trending... I agree we should have something that motivates people to want to engage, not be intimidated.
I appreciate your post..
I appreciate your brilliant comment!
Can you learn me how to write such brilliant comments?

A page that sorts by most active, most commented, or most recently commented would be a better indicator of value, I think. It shows what new posts are actively being engaged with.
I think it could also be an education issue as I have learned how to navigate through the tags to find the posts that most interest me. However, I have also explored through others to find other great content. I never look at the trending page.
Hello @whatageek, The trend allows you to locate more quickly, but we are not all there, because of trending, which is what many people buy their votes, or are lucky, I'm still here and I say this is a race of luck, but since the platform has grown dizzily must change, and should benefit the little ones, there is a lot of potential but they are points in the ocean.
