Nothing that was not botted has made trending except for the last 2 weeks. So, while I think you make valid point it seems a bit too soon to jump to those conclusions.
Also, I guess we would have to acknowledge that most of our large stakeholders were miners. Those miners are interested in Steem and Crypto by default they may be less interested in some other topics.
I do acknowledge your point, and some of it is going to take some time.
I wrote what I did based on the last week of trending. And ya Im hoping that time will change this.
