Very good points! .. i would like to point out though that trending posts on any and every site out there is subjected to people manipulating and using their tricks to be popular. Youtube for example lets you advertise your videos, thereby raising its profile.. so with hf21 in place i think were pretty on par, if not better, at representing the community than most. Im happy to say my recent post hit #6 spot on trending 100% organically, no bid bots used. That never happened before in 2 and a half years!
