Hi @steevc and thanks for the comment! I recognize your name from Asher's League listings. I can't help but think that we are still suffering some aftereffects of people somewhat misrepresenting Steem/Steemit in the early efforts to build a user base... >I'm obviously a compulsive commenter and social animal. That's fun for me and the money is a bonus. To me, that statement is very telling. But early Steemit was all about *"Get on Steemit and MAKE MONEY!"* with *"oh, it's a social content site...."* as an afterthought. Your words suggest *"Get on Steemit for an alternative and censorship resistance social content experience!"* with *"...oh, and you can build stake and earn money"* as the afterthought. I believe if the latter had been the primary approach, we'd have a very different situation today. The upside of the massive market slump is that many of those who simply saw this as a massive cash grab have left in disappointment, leaving the community builders a better chance to create their own base and following in preparation for the next upswing. =^..^=

Things tend to change as the Steem price swings around, but there's still lots of cynical cash-grabbing going on. Certain people on trending do it despite having a good following. It seems like compulsive behaviour to me.

Trending is a strange fish... it should really be renamed "sponsored content," or something more truthful... and anything with even a single bidbot vote separated into a separate feed, with trending being *purely* organically popular. I have noticed a few regular fixtures on Trending actually create really worthy content... I guess they just treat it purely as *a business,* pocketing the 5-10% possible profit on $300 worth of upvotes. Not *my* game... but sometimes I have to admit that there *is* some good stuff there. But I still thing it's a pretty ridiculous representation of our community, given that Trending is what a new visitor who has never logged in sees, first thing. =^..^=
