*"But our pitch forks  don't work that way."*

I do know who the individual in the image was and where he gets his largest vote. I also did not assume he was just pointing a finger at one person but at the Trending page in general. I myself see the trending page generally as mostly large payouts being from vote bid bots, I do know not all of them are. Also I do not disagree with the use of bid bots, if a person want to use the tools available to promote themselves then they are free to do so. 

I have no issues at all with voting, up or down, buy or selling or even self voting. Steemit gave people the vote to do with as they please.

I have a bit better understanding after @andrarchy and @smooth tried to explain things. I am not **"trying to solve"**, I was simply offering an outside the cubical point of view, and possible solution. If a person has an  idea on how to **fix** his problem concerning the trending page, the only way to get people to see the idea and allow it to be evaluated is to put it out there. Which is what I did. Thank you for your comment.

You can always use bots to get the rep back. Or fellow users :)

Good idea!

The aggressive manipulators, including the one being highlighted here, would certainly use multiple accounts to fill up the trending page that way.  You would get the illusion of diversity, but no real substance.

In truth, I don't see anything all that bad about limiting trending slots to one per account, because as you say (and I agree) it should almost never happen organically. However, I have little to no belief it would make a substantive difference.

Let me add, per account per tag, on trending. I'd like to see the top posts from different tags. Sometimes, the top ten posts may be using the #Steemit tag for example or something else. It might be better to see different tags, under the all trending page and like you said, one account per trending post in the specific trending pages. Beyond that, I'd love to see trending comments as well. Maybe even trending links, photos, videos, avatars, quotes, replies, memes, GIFs, etc, as well.
