@rigaronib, I was pleased that my voting power actually meant something after HF, though over the last few days I've noticed that minnow views have decreased due to a surge in the trending section. I thought i was excusing myself for the sudden lack of interest in my posts though an article by @aggroed confirmed my fears. Have you noticed this? I was interested in your most recent post about spammy comments, though realised the recent HF may have made it more difficult for minnows producing good content to be seen, thus increasing the volume of mediocre content to be trawled through. The dilution of good minnow content will reduce the value of the platform. Absolutely not excusing the annoying spam, but think HF may have made the problem worse?
