Of course all of this can also be easily made worthless if Steemit.com decided to remove trending or the current trending and how it works as many would then not feel the need to promote their posts in the first place or would go back to using the promoted feature steem has on the blockchain level, by sending steem/sbd to @null and being featured on the promoted tab.
Uhm, interesting. Then I wonder...
If that were a faster, fairer, easier and more effective solution to combat the 'visibility' problem once and for all. ¿What would you think is the real cause that Stinc have not done none of both yet?
That they haven't decided to modify the criteria/parameter for the appearance of the first places in the list of publications there or remove the trending page altogether? Nor that they have yet reactivated the regular promoted feature steem has at the blockchain level as it was previously planned & working well enough in first place?
In case you haven't noticed Steemit isn't exactly the most dynamic organization when it comes to rapid development. There are huge companies like Facebook or Apple which manage to do whole new releases of their platform in a similar amount of time that it takes Steemit to change an icon. (Big companies are slow and unresponsive, right?)
Pretty much that answers all of your questions.
Haha yeah! that pretty much answers all my questions. };)
However, I wanted @acidyo were the one answering these questions. LoL
