people are focused on money, not on creating value.
Has been the case from day 1 for most except for a few. But those few also give back to their community and the community at large in many ways. That gets overlooked sometimes by the greedier of the lot in the rat race to profit. This place is a reflection of how we live in the world.
Look - how is promoted steem and steemit - not as a community where you can read something important - as in a science magazine or other popular science magazines or event sites - that would create value -only a place where you can earn on commenting and publishing.
As the majority of the population - it is not very intelligent -you can not look, high-level articles or cut retorts.
And generally I do not mind such posts - oh no ... Let them be.
Just why are they in trending? Just because someone raised them for $ 100? or a colleague with a whale account - he raised it?
After a month spent here - and above all observations.
"Shit flows on top." - Literally.
Haha! It seems like it when I look at trending.
Rest of the people - finally started writing - what is wrong ... (ie they saw, but they did not decide to write about it earlier, - until something broke)
So... I take it as a good coin. Beginning the self-cleaning process - from pathology.
