....I was bored so I decided to take a look at the Trending page, "Really People It's Over For Steem"

Unfortunately some vote sellers are quite happy for the trending page to be full of junk posts. Some do blacklist, but it's not enough. This is why anyone with sense avoids looking at trending unless they want to downvote some stuff. They could earn via Steem Flag Rewards for that. My VP is really low or I might dish some flags right now.

So how do you suggest a newcomer finds new content without looking at the trending page? Where else should they look if they do not already have a feed? They have to start somewhere.

When I first came here I found people off clicking on the tags list, that will bring you to what's trending in those area's. If you have a particular area of interest click on tag then go down and find whatever interest you, click on it and it will bring you to what's trending in those areas.

Stop on boarding them to Steemit. Hit the other frontends like SteemPeak, etc.

There’s not much anyone can do until massive flags come HF21.

That is the dilemma. Trending needs cleaning up, but few seem willing to do it. Maybe hf21 will help. Palnet is a little better as the boys have less influence. Those who have time could direct new users to good accounts that match their interests.
