I'd forgotten that the tab existed actually.

I never go to the trending tab any more because there seems no rhyme or reason behind the rankings, so I just assumed it was some 'pet' authors who got on there. The same with the hot page.

They just seemed like a waste of time.

I'll check the new tab on occasion, but frankly I can't keep up with what's in my feed already, so there is no point going looking for more trouble ;-)

It would be better it the hot and trending pages had a clear reason for the posts being on there and how they are ranked. But for now it just seems random and of no value to me.
