Thanks. I'm glad you found value in it. Like you, and a lot of other people, I think the trending page is a terrible PR tool for Steemit. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that someone is gaming the system if they're at the top of that page. People are leaving the platform over it. A lot of people have left the platform over it. I can't think of a better reason to change things based on that fact alone. And all it would take is changing the algorithm to reduce the weight of posts propped up by bidbot votes. They don't even have to exclude them from the page, just tweak the algorithm so that votes by bidbots count for less than votes by real human accounts, or manually curated accounts. That alone would re-order the page. No one actually things that the posts on that page are the best posts Steemit has to offer.
Again, thanks for stopping by.
