Hello everyone ,
How are you all ? I hope everyone is fine and doing great in their life.
For the last few days people can see that the blurt trending page is suspicious , it does not look like as it was before. Some are ok with that some are complaining and saying that it is censoring of people who get votes from particular accounts.
Blurt frontend undergoes changes oftenly and that is mainly done by @tekraze and @saboin. Now for past few months trending page was full of those accounts that used voting services for example with the algorithm that was initially used one could come on trending just by posting a photograph provided he /she has delegated 500k blurtpower to upvu.
What we are seeing currently is not censorship , it is just testing that is going on to bring new algorithm for trending and hot pages of blurt. People have been complaining about unable to come on hot and trending pages because of vote bots.
We as a community should support our developers rather then abusing or demotivating them. They are doing it for us , for blurt.
Just go on steemit and see how trending page looks like , that is full of authors who use vote trading service there.
Is that good for a platform ? No , it is not , just think someone coming on blurt and heading over to trending and not finding it a quality trending page. That will make him go away before that person even join blurt.
So we all should stay calm and let the new develoment take place. As a community we should give suggestions if we want things to become better , revolting all the time is not the solution.
Some Suggestions from my side
We currently have three sections Hot , trending , and , New. I suggest to have a new add on here as VTS where people can click to see new , hot , and , trending post that has used VTS ( vote trading services ).
Secondly we can redefine the trending page not only based on votes value but also number of genuine vote counts , interaction , etc.
I know for me giving suggestions is easy but the real changes has to be done by a developer , we respect you for giving your time to this platform.
Write a post yourself and share ideas , healthy discussion is what makes everything better.
That's all for this blog , if you want to support me then you can do it by voting for my witness clicking on the below image.
Thank You
This idea could be further diversified so that more new faces are likely to appear on the trend page.
I think there should be a way to showcase new users who are writing good posts.
I absolutely agree. I find it difficult to understand the insistence of people who think that they should always be in the lead role to not give a chance to new participants in the blurt blockchain. They can invest as much as they want here, but unless the platform grows, their investments will not go beyond certain limits.
If they only want to vote for themselves, they don't need a trend page for that!
Actually, I think the trend page should have bothered those who invested the most.
Thanks for explaining this, we are already working on improving api
Great post
What post should be on the trending page is the question?
Let's look at Twitter and Facebook.
So it is a post with many likes and views and also interactions and not because a wealthy guy gave a large sum to the poster.
I think this is the key that we are overlooking at. @kamranrkploy
But it will have implications if a megadrive for example wants to make a post visible but unable because the criteria is not meant, i.e. not enough views, interactions, and many upvotes.
Also, keep in touch with Blurtconnect-ng family on Telegram and Whatsapp
The question is when a post is considered as "Hot" or "Trending". As I see it, only posts with a value around 1000 Blurt and with many votes are in the trendings. And with "Hot" I see no connection between the amount of Blurt, votes and comments. Maybe the name "Trending" could be replaced with Blurtbooster or VTS, because many votes are from blurtbooster or upvu.

Yes, now we have exactly what happened in the other blockchaines.
What the German community has fought to prevent this from happening on Blurt!
And what we were berated for that we did not find Upvu and Co good!
But we only wanted the best for Blurt.
We wanted Blurt to go a different way, to be different, to be interesting, to network the world and not to degenerate into a pure money printing machine.....
Yes, what can I say? Blurt is not special....
I agree. The Blurt Team rejected the people who were against VTS and now they are seeing how the vts are getting strong.
Have things I want to read be on the front page(determined from my past activity) would be the best and keep me on the site longer.
