I think the effect will be seen in the long term. When for months only empty posts will be trending. I guess most of us are talking about the long term game. And it's up to big players to decide, if this will be accepted, and you will need mostly those types of investors. Or you'll need real content creators, who are investors at the same time. Because I don't think that all investors are the same. Some are here only for money, others for freedom, others see it a good community. So, after all I see that the stake will decide the game. After all, most crypto turned to proof of stake, what killed mostly the proof of brain. But I'm glad we still have it at least here.

A BIG SHOUT OUT TO @MEGADRIVE!
I need to make an observation on this.
In all my time on social blockchain, I've always felt that trending and hot were crap. And in no way has that impeded the values and adoption. I quickly learned that in order to have any semblance of quality that reflects my own interests and mind, I have to go to the effort of finding and collecting these folks and placing them in my follow feed. It has never not been this way in all my time on social blockchain.
This is a naturally occurring process as unless one is proactive in seeking out like minds, they will never be found and their posts as a newcomer will be lost like a needle in a haystack.
It's the same thing in self publishing, just the way it works.
Overall as I say a lot, those of us who are building communities will in the long run have more rewards that most who are here only to invest. By nature those who don't upvote others or only a small percentage will be shunned by those who do value those connections.
I'd upvote this. But I just bled out all my power on myself! haha kidding, on others.
You share some very valid points and I thank you for taking the time to do so.
When I log onto blurt, I have it set to go right to my feed. So I never see the trending page. Is it possible for the foundation...I mean the founders to have someone just recreate the tending page, based of comments. So post like this with the most engagement can come showoff ummmm.... how engaging the platform is. I think that would not only look good, it would be interesting to new comers checking out the site for the first time.
I mentioned to ultravioletmag a little time ago that if one looks at trending on my friend Freakeao front end Blurtlatam it looks a little different than blurt blot.
https://blurtlatam.com/trending/
So it seems to me that the front ends (who own the front end) can design one that would reflect what they would wish to see as trending without violating anyone elses property rights. They could for example perhaps have a rule in that those who self vote or delegate to a VTS don't get on trending. Although I do think that would push some quality posts out. I mentioned earlier that Oldstone writes some fantastic stuff. I vote for him on t he rare occasions my feed is low. He would actually be part of my feed if he didn't delegate to upvu.
As much as I've come off as an ass. I'm still happy I wrote this post, apologies to @megadrive still. Point is I and many others have learned a whole lot, including what you write here. So even though you are repeating yourself, this is new information to many including myself. So, I thank you for that sincerely. It's bolstered big confidence in my investment and the management here, and there for I just bought and powered up more.
