It's so easy to get your content on the trending page you could literally post a blank screen and get on the trending page just by using bots I don't think that is fair

You are right my friend, I too think the same as you as you do. But we can take that in a +ve way. Meanwhile, people are busy promoting crap content, we have the advantage to create good content and let the mass decide as this won't last for long. Fill your blog good content initially that after you have enough good content then invest money to promote content and bring it to the trending page.I am thinking of doing the same.

I understand what your saying but we shouldn't need to use bots to get on trending

So, why aren't you trending? Just kidding. Yeah, Steemit is vulnerable to bot manipulation to an extent, but they also do a pretty good of policing the platform with their own bots. Even though Minds has a better reward system, Steemit has a way better publishing platform, and this is coming from someone who posts a lot of content.
