Same here, there are 2 reasons for me, to look into the trending page

• I want to get jealous, what others are getting as payouts on their posts ;)
• in my feed one or two articles show up, complaining about something on the trending page

:))

Did you look into top voted posts?
Does it even exist?
I had a bot running, posting a table. And the difference was quite interesting.
Top payout posts where always from the same users. Top voted post where most of the time from different ones, some where spam, and a lot where non English.
When was the last time a non English post was on trending?

Are you looking into the new page?
That would also be an option, but a messy one, I guess:)
So much spam.. Everywhere
