Hey @m31! I hope you are doing well! Thanks for your comment.

Curation these days is even more decentralized than it used to be, since now stakeholders are incentivized to curate themselves by having the best return that way. Of course, there are some bigger stakeholders who just cast their votes on whatever is on the trending page because they have no time or interest in finding content themselves or they don't feel they would get back the same return by delegating to curation guilds to distribute stake for them.

To this point I want to give a gut shot test. Is it easy for lets say the bottom and mid hive holders to get a post to trending? or are there always whales involved? In our time there was sure whales needed, or a lot of voting bots :P

Great to hear from you again!
