Tired of the Spam on trending? Me too! It's about time someone did something about it and @markrmorrisjr just might have a solution!
Hey, you know you hate it. You look at the top of trending in almost any category and all you see is.
But, what's one lonely minnow supposed to do about it?
Oh sure, you could join Adsactly and catch the crumbs from their table, but wouldn't you rather develop your own audience, and not contribute to the rape of the reward pool? Individual accounts, not huge communes and corporations, were what founded this platform.
Mark has proposed an idea that I think is crazy enough, it just might work! And I intend to do what I can to make sure it does! It's called the #minnowvotesproject and it's going to be launching on Sunday, for a one week run, pushing one post as high as we can get it to go!
I think community and quality content ought to be the hallmarks of steemit. If they're not, why are we here? To squabble over rewards? Why was content creation the proof of work for miners? Because they recognized that a large, relevant cache of content was the best traffic magnet possible online, but, what's happened to it?
If you're ignoring the trending posts, good for you, on the one hand, but shame on you on the other. This crap that's earning YOUR rewards is not worthwhile. Heck, a lot of it doesn't even make sense and it's time we took it back, reinstated manual curation and voting as the standard and began to promote quality content.
In a perfect world, the best, most useful, most original, and most entertaining content would win out. We'd vote our conscience, not just our steem wallet, and we'd win for it!
To my way of thinking, bot votes are a short term fix, but if your content still sucks, what does it matter. Sure, people will still come here out of greed, but the real builders want something of value and they'll leave if buying the votes is the only way to get attention.
So the answer to the communes is another community? Who is the arbiter of what spam is on a decentralized platform?

I have stated in previous posts. buying votes is what happens in politics, and if it is frowned upon there by the community as a reference to buying votes in Steemit. Some will say it is totally different, one has nothing to do with the other. I am still low in my level and use availability of free votes a few times. However i do not pay for a vote.
The grading of good content vs other content is something which is very hard to monitor and value, we each hold different opinions and pictures at different levels of importance.
On what will the content that gets pushed to the top be value'd?
Where will the proceeds of the post go?
will each member be upvoted to the top over time?

Well, this is about straight crap that adds zero value to anyone. It doesn't reveal new information, the writing and imagery used is poor, and much of it even gets numerous down votes, just not enough to dampen it. Join,or don't join. Follow the link for more information. In fact, we're not even trying to fight the spam, just replace it with good content that's not being seen.

Well, no, it's a fix the system by promoting good content. Any other method just makes everyone equally poor.
