A month ago, some Steemers were beginning to think that the Pizzagate Topic was being censored.
I had my suspicions as well, not for any other reason other than watching multiple platforms clamp down hard on the topic. From the banned subs on Reddit, to the Twitter and Facebook censorship and even 'rogue' mods on Voat.co going on deleting rampages, there was an obvious concerted effort to quash the discussion.
A regular PG contributer on steemit, @gizmosia, sparked a heated debate with an article entitled: Why Steemit Lost My Trust
The Topic Pizzagate was not listed for quite sometime , some suggested a UI bug or it wasn't popular enough to trend, while others claimed somekind of fuckery.
So, to my pleasant surprise while browsing the listing I came across pizzagate and pedogate! Whatever the cause, its good to see it trending again and maybe get more people to join in the discussion. "Pegging" is even listed as a trending topic at the moment, go figure.
However, @gizmosia has disappeared in recent weeks and the last activity from giz was about 22 days ago. I hope to see @gizmosia return soon as giz was a consistent, passionate and valuable contributer to this topic.

The tags plug-in still has a bug, but the number of tags returned has been increased to help with the issue in the mean time.

Thank you, I need to spend more time getting to know github and how Steemit works, I'm still pretty green when it comes to these topics. It's a learn as you go process for me.
This link does help provide some answers as to why it wasn't trending, and i learned from other threads that there were many other topics that were active but were also not being listed in the trending topics menu. Cheers!

I miss giz too! She always had a marvelous perspective and really thought out her posts instead of just posting videos with no commentary!

We miss the giz...
I also agree entirely with your sentiment about just posting a video without commentary or analysis or context. There's nothing wrong with videos/docs/interviews/vlogs but i tend to gravitate more to posts that make connections, are critical, or show me a different perspective.

I agree. The videos are good for bolstering a point, or to add validation, but not to be the focus of the post.
