Yeah but trending was not made for getting exposure as promotion was intended, trending is there so that people can review what content is getting massive chunk of the reward pool, and the purpose behind that is for giving exposure in the sense of "hey these are the posts that are getting the most rewards" so that abuse will get exposed. Imagine if haijin was getting all his posts off trending once they hit the limit, he would go off the radar as soon as he self-votes.

Promotion should be made into the homepage so that people actually have a reason to promote and at the same time take away any excuse people can hide behind for selling and buying votes. Trending has a really important feature and its not to promote or give people exposure and if its exposure its there to prevent abuse mpre than to get support, and promotion actually has the function of providing exposure but right now its like promoting behind the store by the loading docks, completely undermimed and so pointless.
