Automated votes are important for this system, both for authors and for investors who want to make passive income on their investment, so I do not think the system should be changed in that regard. And what comes to the trending page, that is mostly bought appearance on it with bitbots. I hardly ever open it, and I don't understand why anyone else would either. You find people/content you like, and stick with them, and you probably won't find them in the trending page.

Yep, maybe You are right about this, not everyone have time to upvotes supported accounts every day, so it is true, it can be useful for both sides. I am checking the Trending section to look for someone new and interesting to follow - but to be honest, much more interesting content appears in New section of the feeds...
It is just useful when we wanr to hear some news about steem situation or some new, big projects... I was in the top of Trending once long time ago, but it was only once, in the beginning of my journey here, I didn't even know about bitbots or vote buying that day - it was great shot of energy to keep doing what i do.
Anyway, good luck for You! Hope the steem will help You in independent living, without the need of extra work!
I never find anything interesting on the trending, all the new additions to my following list come from lurking on the comment section of people I already like, or then I find new people because they come to me first :D I have been on the trending page a few times too, a long time ago, I'm not sure if it was more harm than good, but sure fun :D
