FYI: "Trending" algorithm is a product of Steemit INC

Steempeak / peakd have a different trending page already.

My SteemPeak trending page is still the same as Steemit, with the exception of promoted posts.

Weird, my main page was always pretty different. Maybe I'm on the wrong page there =D

However, it's difficult to use a nice metric for a trending page besides payout.

Why r you still here on Steem? Come to hive!

I've had my ideas about a better Trending page, but who am I. There's always good ideas out there, but if your not important, or have deep pockets, your ideas don't go far.

HIVE is a big mistake, for many reasons. It will not last long, and it was not the proper way to handle this situation. I do not agree with what is happening.

So you think a centralized blockchain is fine?

Do you really believe that Steem was ever a genuinely decentralized system? Has Steem ever been a truly democratic system? When less than 1% of Steemians controlling the vast majority of the wealth and votes, can you really believe that it was or is decentralized? You do realize that ALL of the problems of the Steem ecosystem will now become the problems of the HIVE community... PLUS SOME!!!

  1. Steem was fairly decentralized besides the Steemit inc 21% stake.
  2. In absolute numbers maybe it's 1% of the 1 million accounts. But there is a vast number of dolphins and orcas on the chain that has much more stake than all the whales combined.
  3. Now without steemit inc it is pretty close to being a well decentralized system compared to any other decentralized system out there and especially compared to Steem.
  4. I do know that most of the steem problems are now hive problems. But with steemit inc gone, the community now has the responsibility and ability to fix them.
  1. I have never seen Steem as a decentralized system. I have always enjoyed being on Steem, and I have always found the contradictions very comical! The Steem system very much mirrors the capitalistic model that it was supposed to challenge. It is quite funny!
  2. The best example of this is exactly the very fact that the vast majority of wealth is concentrated in the hands of less than 1% of the accounts. And even if there are Dolphins and Orcas who have a great deal of collective wealth, they did not do much to change what was really wrong with the system. It's a ladder - Minnows want to become Dolphins, Dolphins want to become Orcas and Orcas want to become Whales. This is the microcosm of the capitalistic macrocosm.
  3. What you all don't realize is that HIVE is a more concentrated form of a centralized Steem, with a few loud voices wanting to dictate the future of the blockchain and the social network. If Steem has already lost hundreds of thousands of users with this group in power, HIVE won't even make it to 100,000 users!
  4. If you do realize that ALL of the problems of the Steem ecosystem will now become the problems of the HIVE community... PLUS SOME!!!... you should also realize that HIVE is a disaster waiting to happen, while Steem, now hitting its bottom, has no place to go but up!!!
  1. It is far more decentralized than any of the other systems though (facebook, twitter, etc)

2+3: There are a lot of things going on you don't see when you don't participate. There are a lot of people working to make hive better and succeed.

  1. Much much more people actually investing their time and energy to fix those issues. (Hive doesn't have more issues than Steem that is, it has at least one less, that is justin sun).

Besides, there are many ideas, but if you can't proof that your model is mathematical sound against different forms of attacks its not worth anything.

That's why I agree that deep thinkers should always sit down with good coders, and vice-versa.

That's what people are doing here. People who are great thinkers should engage with posts, comments and on discord to get in contact with those people.

It's a shame that Discord is not blockchain based, or that Steem's Social Apps don't organize themselves a little more like Discord. Discord is a much better community building network.

I see discord only as a complementary. It is good for exchange of information but it requires a blogging platform for more complex thoughts.

However, the smart heads that are in the community that want to make the blockchain better are now on Hive. Come join us.
