Influencers upvoted the content and not the product.
-> wrong again.
Influencers upvote on cool products, not well written content. They all understand Steemhunt is a curation project, not a writing service.
You may not think this product is cool. That's fine because "coolness" is a subjective term anyway.
If you complain about "this product took the top ranking because they've done circle jerking between their friends", that's a good point, and we'll have to find a solution. However, if you're just complaining because this top product is not your taste, we have nothing to do about that.
I complain that the first product took the top because of the mods, influencers and subjectivity. Anyway. Thanks for your time,
I will be silent, I am not gonna hunt products to be judged by others subjectivity.
I know giving more powers to influencers could be considered "unfair" for other community members, but I think it is the most effective solution so far (You know the ranking board was like circle jerking contest few days ago, and it's not way better IMHO).
Those mod / influencer systems can be changed any time when we find a better solution.
I don't consider it unfair. I consider unfair if they use wrong they power..Yes you will find better solutions once you will detect new problems..
