Steem has really gone to shit now as nobody is dealing with it.
I look at STEEM trending occasionally, but there are now language issues. The anti-abuse crew for the most part left and is now on HIVE, and there is little compared to what it was. We both know that, as before it was non-stop.
Hive trending is mostly English and Steem mostly Korean, so there is a cultural divide there. Just seems that on Steem it is largely through buying votes or the same few accounts self-voting. I think Hive is more diverse, but could still do better. Any good content should have a chance of trending.
