The Church of Piglet asks your attention for the following:
The presence on or near the Trending Page of postings like these may not be in the best interest of Steemit and therefore your stake here:
https://steemit.com/photography/@ivanuralsky/the-colosseum-rome
https://steemit.com/tag/@igsgheiughe/such-post
Just two examples out of the many; we have been trying to reduce our exposure to the Trending Page for health reasons, but still:
We look at Trending, so you don't have to.
It may, however, be a good idea to follow our comments and flags and judge for yourselves.
Why? Because the pending rewards being shown on shit posts on the Trending Page are disheartening and insulting to proper content providers, and also emphasise the already scammy image of Steemit to first-time visitors.
It is up to the whole community to clean up things a bit, but most of the larger wallets are hiding behind their delegations and are making money from bidbots, so their interests lie elsewhere: short-term profit without caring about the long-term viability of Steemit.
The largest wallets may have the largest responsibility, but they are not going to intervene; it's up to the rest.
