RE: The Trending Page is 100% Well-Established Users
Digg had precisely the same kind of 'club'. It is commonly agreed that the power-user collaboration drove the exodus from Digg.com. Unlike that site, all of our power-users are financially invested in the platform though, it is in their financial interest to mitigate the impact of such a phenomenon.

People have to choose between short term gains and the good of the platform. There's a danger that some new site will come along that offers something better. I think the ideas of Steemit are sound, but people are generally the weak point.
