RE: Why I Think The TRENDING Header Should Be Changed To WHALE PICKS
Actually, for those of us who like to read, I'd enjoy finding truly great content that is liked by a lot of people. My tastes may not be the same as the whales, so I have to sift through tons of posts to find good stuff. A few of my finds have made it to the trending page, but the whales are not all so good at finding gems......
Yeah whoops I forgot to add that I agree about the topic, since that's how things work, it is basically the Whale's Picks category, since whale power = trending content. We should at least have an "upvote" section to find upvoted content, that we hope aren't upvoted to shit by bots lol. But at least it would be there to view.
the "most upvoted" category could be messed with by whales like you said. since they could curate an article, then send it to the top, with bots ex: 1000 different accounts, and they would get half of the eventual curation payout, I think how it works. At least we don't have so much of that abuse now, with spam voting.
This was tried. The Hot ranking used to be weighted by votes not SP. It was upvoted to shit by bots.
