I mean I’m not judging anything right or wrong I’m just engaging in discussion about whether the whole idea of services like upvu are beneficial for the platform or not and whether there is things that could be put in place to minimise them taking over trending. For me I don’t even really care about trending but obviously this is going to put so many people off coming to the platform if they go on trending in the first thing they see is just useless posts for the whole page. Like world Pro said they might as well just keep the post empty and put posted just for the up the vote would be more authentic.But yeah it’s not really a case of right or wrong because at the moment anything anybody does is okay but there are things that could be put in place to change things and personally if it made the site better and was the general consensus of all the users I would be okay with that.

I guess this would hold more weight to me if one could have pointed at our sister and mother chain and shown they ever had a trending that didn't suck.

Don't stop now!!!! This post is up to 133 comments! I knew I did something right here....even though I did something so wrong! hahaha

But seriously. I'm glad I've been able to get discussion going on, on topics that people are of concern and people are passionate about. Me feelings are play with-in the rules. If the majority of user here vote to change the rules....then play with-in the new rules or you can always opt out and doing something else with your time and investment. So as long as upvu is upvuing then upvu all day long. I can't deny it hasn't crossed my mind to follow in the steps of oldstone and retake a lot of my free time back.

If you followed in oldstones ways you would be bringing us what I consider some of the best pieces on Blurt.

I do grow tired though from repeating myself and am close to resigning myself to what will be will be. If the chain deviates from the respect of property then I'll just move on because once that slippery slope begins there usually is no stopping from what the mob demands has to be whittled at next.

It's actually foolish for me to devote so much time to this, but I like to think I can reason well enough to perhaps change hearts on an issue, which is often not the case, lol.

You can and you have.
