Thanks mate, I agree and make no judgement on how people manage their stake and use their up-votes and down-votes - everyone needs to do what's right for them. My personal opinion is that the trending page needs to be filled with the best quality content. But there is definitely a place in our feeds and in the "New" tab for more content, images and shorter form content. These posts don't need big votes to still be valuable to the tribe, and encourage more involvement and participation. That is the basis of how I'll approach my stake and voting from now on.
For SMT's, I guess we just continue to wait and see how the STEEM/TRON saga unfolds.
Thanks for your comment, and everything you do for this tribe.
JK.
