You made some good points crypt0. I hope they switch out trending more often, as @kaylinart and others said. Changing top posts every 2-3 hours would be better.

I think Steem developers will respond to feedback quickly. It takes time to implement new features. Articles like this will hopefully get noticed on Steem Developers Slack.

Whatever happens, crypto social-media is going to get huge within a few months. There'll be more than one crypto-media portal by the end of 2016. Healthy competition is good for everyone.

If there's a gap Steemit can't fill, a competitor will step up, as readers demand change . Every portal will stay on their toes, trying to provide the best service. If there's anything unfair about the Steem system, the developers will hopefully fix it. If they don't respond to the community, a fast moving rival will take advantage. I bet Reddit starts issuing their own currency. If they don't do something drastic, they might lose 90 percent of their readers within a year.

Who knows what will happen? Big positive changes are coming. Crypto media could easily be worth 10-20 billion USD in a relatively short time.
