Can we conclude that the reason the trending page always has the same damn authors is because @smooth's votes are limited to fewer authors?
I think whales should take a lesson from @robinhoodwhale and not upvote the same author in a given time period.
I for one am tired of seeing the same set of authors on the trending page, each post earning almost exactly what their last post earned.
Actually, the authors smooth repeatedly voted are not on the trending page often. But they got significant amount of author rewards during the last month (between $200 and $400 generally)
Please see the following accounts: @knozaki2015 @terrycraft @crazymumzysa @gavvet @sirwinchester @masteryoda
I'm surprised by that to be honest. I wonder what is causing the same authors to appear on the trending page.
From my experience, berniesanders, phareism and block trades have been the most generous whales when it comes to regular upvoting of minnows posts.
