Our trending page is not something that brings us glory (or new users). Posts boosted by bots, posts with zero comments. This reminds me of the early days of Steem, when on trending you could read about all sorts of shitcoins but nothing about Steem.
I think that we should exclude (or give every user a chance to do it) votes casted by VTS from the algorithm. Can this be done on the condenser level?
I think it can be done at the front-end level , will talk about this with tekraze. You are right the trending page is almost not understandable to most of the users.
Thank you.
Yes, it is something that I have been observing for some days now, publications that do not contribute anything of value in the trends. Mostly driven by VTS services, not to mention that they are boosting content in which there is little or nothing to share with other users. At least for me it is not valuable.
I think it would be an interesting experiment if one of the frontends did something like this
We're stuck in the past. Unfortunately the past is carried into the future. Blurt should be something new. Hope there is a fix for that. Thanks for reminding again.
Trending on most sites like hive, here and steemit are shit posts about the site, boring at best.
Yes, but it's the cheapest and the best way to get random visitors interested in blockchain
Unsure about that, I tend to stay away from tech talk, if I need to know how to do something I ask someone who knows, people want to chat and have fun, not read the latest update on blurt, IMO and we all have one. 👍😀
Very boring. Robots beat humans.
Indeed as they never stop, neither do people going on about how great something is for monetary gain, as they know it gains them upvotes, power and they can then put very little effort in for big gains, gaming the system and the site owners.

Well technically VTS is just automation but votes are real, it does not matter how you vote, a vote is a vote.
So algorithm in its own way working fine.
But for frontend, yes, we might develop some algo, with data collection at our end. It will become a centralized service as we need to collect data in Database rather querying from blockchain.
And yes, this plus other things can be done. But it takes two things, investment as well time.
If community is ready to support, i can think of building this in mine as well other frontends.
Thanks
Why does this has to be done at the blockchain level? If you don't like someones post, just use mute.
or you can start your own frontend that show/hide whatever content you want.
If the platform starts censoring users/posts like twitter and other social media, what is the point of this blockchian? and decentralization?
Focus more on building your own feed thats interesting to you and not the hot or trending or whatever... do we even need them?
Well, that's a complicated answer and you know I already answered half of it.
Well, people can follow and make their list, that's true. But for new people, Hot and Trending pages are one that shows what type of content there is.
Let's say I am tech guy, who comes to visit and get girls / food pics only, then that gut may not be interested. So it's kind of a deciding factor to join or not.
Also as I said, Votes are the same whether manual or not. It's just that, with VTS and curation trail, the content not actually worthy may not come to the top.
But again, the worthy to me may not worthy to the other person.
Sometimes, these problems are just good, if kept unsolved or it gets messier like noodles.
BINGO! 💯
😁
Wouldn't it be possible to do it this way:
In settings, there would be an option to exclude votes casted by VTS (upvu, tomoyan, etc), so the post payout would be lower,
this way there would be no need to change algorithms and everything would be optional, so nobody would complain about such a change. Non logged in users and those who did not choose this option would still see what they see now
Hi,
That sounds surely easier but not, because for any of these change we need to change the code in blockchain app, that creates a hard fork.
I am only a frontend dev, so i can restrict only to frontend whatever logic i can.
I was to learn things in blockchain but got busy, maybe some time i will.
But for frontend i will soon do something
