I'm trending, trending, trending ....
High SP power users can be overbearing in the Trending section. I feel like it's tied together by around 80 people. The algorithm should be retuned to allow reputation as well as SP to have a say.
Love to hear what your one Steemit turn off is in the comments below.
Whale downvotes. Resteemed.

Bots, Autovoting, Multiple accounts, Unfair distribution, Shitposts...anyway it's way better than any other social media.

All agreed @rossenpavlov - this post is turning into a nice feedback document now :)

It's really hard to get viewcounts on your posts here. That's my biggest beef.
I'm trying to be proactive though and build a mailing list which can send more traffic to my posts (and hopefully some of those people will stick around on steemit in general).

Nice to see this one twice! Great to drive the point home to all those devs and marketing guys! Thanks @heymattsokol :)

I know the rewards curve is being looked at into the future to try and negate whale downvoting!

I hope this document can help shake things up a bit Olga! We need it as well as our organic growth!!

There's not much we can do about whales supporting their friends. It's how Steemit was designed to work. I hope a growth in users will dilute their power in the long run. It doesn't turn me off.
What turns me off is negativity. We have something great here with amazing possibilities to change the world. We early adopters can help to Make Steemit Great (not again as it's the first time). Should I get a hat made?

Trolling here is indeed worse than youtube due to the monetary values involved. Some people want riches the lazy way ... and when it doesn't happen they get ill-tempered!

Although it is a reality of the activity, the -eye that indicates views can be disheartening.
Even if upvotes are generated the true number of people who actually look at the content, especially if you have invested a lot into a post, can be off putting.
It's the truth about the number of people who upvote without actually looking at the content, motivated by potential pay out perhaps rather than genuine interest.

I can tell already this is going to be a good feedback document for Mitchell / @andrarchy and @ned already - I also share this frustration @girlbeforemirror! I've seen 100 upvoted posts with 2 views!!

Nope, the post thumbnail. The avatar I've changed, look at that smile :D

You can change the post thumbnail - just edit your post and change the photo you want changed.

Yes, that's the point. You have to change a post image, the thumbnail should be a separated one, get it? I do not always want the first pic in the thumbnail.

Yeah, it's a pain having to move the photo to the top of your post that you want to be the main thumbnail. I get you now @ardaia :) AGREED!!

The inequality between whales, dolphins and minnows. A microcosm of a capitalist society I feel.

I'm not sure about the trending and hot and promoted pages.
I pretty much never go there because there seems to be no clear reason for the posts to be there. There is no obvious ranking that I can see, so trending means nothing.
If we are going to have pages like that it should be obvious to the casual user (like most of us) how the ranking is derived.
My one Steemit turnoff - lack of clear communication from Steemit.inc. e.g. we get new icons (and presumably other functionality) and I find out about it in a post from someone else. There is no notification from the people in charge saying this is what we did. Ok, maybe they wrote a post somewhere about it, but in order to find that I have to
1 - know it is there
2 - go looking for it
Why can't they tell us up front what is going on?
I get that the guys behind Steem and Steemit are geniuses - kudos to them. But if we want this platform to be more than just a place for geeks who love to interrogate the blockchain from the linux terminal or check out a Git repository and troll through the code, then this needs to be addressed.
Facebook didn't get to be where it is today by not communicating with its users. (and yes Facebook is about as crappy as you can get without hiring the Donald to run it)
To me it looks like 'decentralized control' is being used as the excuse for 'no responsibility'. Because it is decentralised and no-one is in charge, we don't have to make any effort to inform anyone, about anything. - unless the users really kick up a stink.
Before marketing, before hard (or soft) forking, before everything else - sort your comms with your current user base. We are the reason you built the blockchain in the first place. We love that you did it. Engage with us, let us know in a clear and present way what is happening.
A little notifications panel where you can tell us hey we did this today, would do nicely.
Take a look at how toggl does it. this is an awesome tool that does a good job of communicating quietly with its users.
Sorry - I didn't mean for that to be a rant. But it is the one big thing that is holding the platform back in my opinion.

An excellent contribution @trevor.george and I'm sure the community manager @andrarcy and Mitchell will scan these threads. I'm glad you took the time to write something original here, as it all adds to this feedback post and almost makes it like some kind of feedback document. I share all of your rants too. Many thanks. @mindhunter

Thanks for that.
For me it is just a bit frustrating as a communication professional who has spent many years teaching communication skills, that this seems to be one area that really needs some work.
And it doesn't really cost money - just the investment of time and understanding.
I'm totally committed to the platform and really want it to succeed, because when it succeeds, we all succeed.

Just remember were still in the baby Beta phase right now and building slowly ... but when we get to the Alpha phase we sure as hell can't afford these errors or the costs will be MUCH higher!!
