I just started to read New a couple of days ago. The trouble is there is so much material. Someone introduced a tool for sifting through large quantities of new posts using various criteria. Anyone remember what it was?

So, half of the I am going to defend Steem gladiators have no clue what they are downvoting. Anyway, hope that made you happy.

Advertising is advertising. No profit-making advertising belongs in Trending.

They're not doling out the money out of the goodness of their heart but to advertise their product. I think they can be pretty satisfied with what they've already got: a lot of eyes on ProxomaX or whatever the product was what they were advertising.
