yeah i agree and hey @whatsup how about NEXT @steemitblog we fix the PROMOTED post section,

we could have the promoted SECTIOn be deleted all together or hidden, and have a simple BOT that POSTED the posts in the front page, sprinkling them throughout the chain, because if we just put the ads in between real posts, people might find a way to ad block them/ OR maybe not

that might not be such a difficult problem but using an Account to REPOST the featured posts, so the account upvotes itself with money used to pay for the promotion, instead of burning the money, like we do now, we have that money sent to bid bots to promote the post..... but the money goes back to the Bot that reposts these featured posts, NOT back to the creator, and then the SBD received is Burned, sent to null, maybe SP too or we keep that use it for the project... but yeah Promoted Posts deserve to be put into the trending page and the only way to organically do that is just use a bot to actually post and upvote itself after posting these reposts of the Submitted posts that peopel want to pay to promote...

i know it sounds like a roundaboutr way, why not just use bidbots in first place?Well this promotion button the NEW one would atcually BE an elaborate Bid Bot button, and rightfully so.... its the ACTUAL way you pay to get promote don steem, NOT with sending ur coins to Null and placing it in some section no one ever uses, but we didnt know that back then and now we all know how paid promotion actually works and how it can actually be profitable, maybe we keep teh SP, maybe pay back the SBD we earn on the bot, anyway, we have the tools to fix the promoted section without any hardfork

TLDR; Imagine fixing promoted Section by having the "Promote" button activate a BidBoit menu, like @postpromoter or @booster for example, like how @steemplus has a button to "Boost" your post which just leads to a bidbot that sells you an upvote OR copies and pastes the post to a new post to be upvoted and have its rewards burned. . We can just hide the promoted section, and just have the Promoted Section official bid bot post its "promoted" posits to the trending page, bidbot can burn rewards
