Viewing a response to: @transisto/trending-is-broken
I just want to say thank you for highlighting one of my criticisms of creating a separate rewards pool for comments. I hope people take notice of this. And I agree that the *Trending* page is using bad metrics for "popularity" and probably shouldn't be what's displayed on the Steemit landing/home page. They need a better alternative.

So trending currently is using total pending rewards to arrange posts. I'd like to hear what could be better alternatives? Reddit uses upvotes just on the post itself and currently steemit is using upvotes on post and the comments.

The home page shouldn't just be a page for displaying the "top trending" posts. For example: A post like this does nothing to attract readers or entice them to sign up. Rather than simply displaying "trending" posts, perhaps they should have a variety of posts from different categories to display...oh, wait...Steemit doesn't even have categories. They have a list of random tags that people use. The UI is awful. It's not surprising that the face of Steemit.com isn't attractive.
