I never look at the trending page, I noticed it was a load of rubbish quite early in my steemit life (basically it's like the paid ads on Facebook which used to piss me off intensely, so if I've replaced fb with steemit, why would I go there?)

I also read one of your blogs about keeping the people you follow to a minimum, so that there is sufficient time to interact with them & read their posts. This is a difficult one and I'm not as brutal as you in this regard, but I make a point of evaluating now and again to ensure I see the posts & people I find value in.

Having said this, I am of the opinion that Heimindanger has created a great tool that would make me stop & think before upvoting a post that is highly bot rewarded.

I may not go as far as downvoting, even if I am a minnow (plankton actually) I value all the little 0.001 sbd's I have, their sentimental value is far greater than their monetary worth, and they don't come from bots.

However, I know there is a responsibility, as a user of the platform, to be accountable for its health and wellbeing, so IF I do downvote based on this list, I would only do so if I read the post and found the quality highly questionable.

Thank you, as always, for the high quality you add! <3
