Okay, I get it: Instead of having something become trending merely byt number of $SBD it can be worth, it can be by reputation coming into account and study teh number of upvotes.
I sometimes get a lot of upvotes but little SBD, because a lot of people who follow me are new users, or less active users than me. I'm fairly new, but I'm so active, my reputation is up to 58 now, but I post every day, several times a day, and still make very little and do not make it to the trending page. Some of my posts see 30 to 60 upvotes and make under $5. If those appear on the Trending page based on my reputation and upvote count, then more people will see it, more upvotes will come, more Steem will come as a result and the platform can thrive.
Right now, Trending sees SBD and upvotes, but upvotes above 100 upvotes. There should be a way for people who receive under 100 upvotes to still make it to Trending, and reputation can indicate the quality of the content.
Well, the trending algo will be the same, it's just that it will be filtered by the reputation of the authors. In order to avoid having mostly the same users on the trending page. They will still get A LOT of visibility, just not all of it :) The problem with the number of votes is also with people buying votes from steemfollower.

Ah, yeah I understand. And then there are bots who upvote random people without really following them or reading their posts. Sometimes a post I put out gets an upvote and a comment a fraction of a second later. That's insane! I don't use bots. I try to do everything organically.
