One of the biggest complaints is that the "trending" page is nothing but a promotional page with many of the posts just paid garbage. Since there are many accounts with the resources to upvote their content via voting bots there is a validity to this complaint.
Like most situations, if there is a problem, give it enough time and a Steemian will figure out a solution.
The other day a came across a post that detailed Steemits first "ad blocker".
Title "Custom Feed", this allows one to customize the trending page. One can opt for the page to appear with those posts that have paid upvotes or select one without.
Here are two different views:
Without Custom Feed...
With Custom Feed...
Here are the links to the pages in the same order to view the entire page.

For those individuals who are most concerned about the Trending Page, this is a help. Personally, I prefer to use the Hot Page since the content there is more likely to be less manipulated. Nonetheless, there are many who pointed to the problem with the Trending page.
While this does not solve the entire problem, it does allow one to custom the content based upon true upvoting to see what is the most popular content for oneself.
