Another Trending page cancer (aka annoying) ecosystem.
So , I almost never go to the trending page of youtube but I thought I would do a little experiment to see how many of these videos ( first 3 pages) will I even consider watching.
So out of the 14 videos listed above I would at-least click play on 3 and maybe end up watching 1 video. I consider that to be quite similar to the dismal results (or maybe even worse) on STEEMIT trending page.
What can we conclude from that?
- Maybe the answer is not the trending page but the suggestions playlist (and personalized suggestion) and that's what STEEM UIs should focus on , it is quite difficult to guess what will be popular with large number of people.
Unless.
2.We move to 1 account -1 vote like Reddit , as whenever I go to the Reddit feed my click through rate is much higher. No matter how much we bitch and moan 1 account -1 vote seems to be the best way to curate . We may not want the best way to curate , that's a different story.
One bottomline reason can be - hey !! we need investors to fund this shabang and we got to give them some incentive , so fine , let's not opt for the best possible way to curate but maybe a combination of point 1 above and SMTs+Oracles ( if they ever go live !!)
Also tell me how many would you consider even clicking from the trending page !!
I would click on maybe two of those YouTube vids. I always wonder if they all seem crap just because I'm an ancient old hag but maybe they're crap for any age.
I,am totally on board with a personalised suggestions page and ditch Trending altogether.
let's see if any of the DAPP guys gonna take up on it..Busy or Steempeak ..
