🏴‍☠️ I am Treasure Hunting - Task #3

kosklPosted for Everyone to comment on, 5 years ago2 min read

Hi all,

This is my entry for the treasure hunt contest. Details here.

The task was:

Write a post about how you feel about the trending posts listing.
-- do you use it, why and how?
-- if you don't use it, why not?
-- if you could change how trending works, how would you change it?
-- would you like trending to be removed?

My answers:
-- I use it rarely. Most of the times I use the 'new' option, because I don't like to reward posts that have already been generously rewarded; I prefer to cast my vote (which isn't worth much to be honest) to new posts, and give other people my 'voting pennies'.
I have to admit though, that many times the posts on the trending page have been rewarded generously because they have something important to say. That's why witnesses vote for them, so REALLY I should be reading them. But I don't. Not all of them, anyway. I wish I had time to read them all. But I don't.
-- It's not that I don't use it at all, as I mention before. I use it rarely.
-- I would also like to see posts in the trending category that have the highest number of people's votes. If many people vote for these posts, there must be a reason for it. So I would like to see them up there.
To qualify in this category, a post should NOT offer any incentive to voters of course. Because that would defeat the objective.
-- No, I would not like trending to be removed. Just improved a little bit. A bit more power to the majority. That sort of thing.

And here comes my pixabay image.
