Oh, so you're taking that stance:

"It's not me, it's the voters. I'm just a vessel of demand and bare no responsibility ."

You know that's not how it works. Even a bad idea will get traction if the "right person" is behind it. In this case you. And you cant wash your hands of it all. Youre the one running it.

We did move from 90 to 75 which is a noticeable jump. That being saidnSteem economics are broken. We all know that. But you dont patch a leaking ship with duct tape.
This is not how you fix it. The splution is tackling the underlying issue of SBD, maybe look at how how ETH stablecoins are doing it.

" if you want to see better stuff on the Trending page, get people to post better stuff"

Thats really a cop out statement. The actions of whales on this platform in large part determine the content created.
Telling me to get people to post more quality content is nonsensical for a number of reasons.

1. Theres no way i can do that but i can try and convince you to stop posting this stuff.
2. I cant convince you to put in the work to try and find quality creators.
3. I cant know every whales preference or ehat they consider quality content, which im sure youre aware of.
