You could have got my attention with a mention or comment. I do see problems with these posts dominating trending, but given the small size of the Steem community and the lack of other people visiting it is not the end of the world. I have enough to do dealing with people who are selfishly buying votes. I can only take off a few cents from each, so I use my downvotes where they can have an impact. It will take orcas and whales to impact on the trending posts.
