If you're cleaning the trending page, please do it correctly and not selectively.
If you started this operation maybe you should start another one rewarding those who are creating projects for the community.
An example is Steem-bounty by @knircky which is clearly helpful and he is getting 0 profit.
I don't get how projects like that are downvoted but a project like creation of a bot where the reward pool is raped is very supported.
He is entitled to his own views on the best way to improve the platform and so are you. If you don't like his ideas then don't vote for them.
To be fair it is clearly going to be upvoting a lot of trash as well, unless you downvote all of the trash which is clearly impossible. That is one of the reasons why I have tended to support burning rather than just downvoting. There is a lot of trash right now.
Exactly. Thats why people need to be encouraged to use flags responsibly as a cleaning tool and not be worried.
I didn't say that downvoting rapes the reward pool.
I said that good projects should be boosted and not downvoted, yes, you're right, I am subjective, everyone is.
What if all bid bots are denied? Wouldn't that solve the problem better?
I think that's the real problem.
Trending page was similar before the popularity of the bots but with exchanges between upvotes.
I appreciate your initiative but I think we can solve the problem deeper. We - the members who care about Steemit.
