RE: Scraping and Analyzing the Steemit Trending Page – Blockchain Business Intelligence
Nicely stated.
My core complaint is you should see new people hit trending, often. The very fact this isn't the case refers to the "incestuous" nature of the back-patting-vote system going on here.
Languishing in the "tails" is okay if you have a shot at the big-time, but not if you're doomed to never get out of that purgatory in the first place.
This is why I think Steemit is largely a self-congratulatory exercise where circles of voters use their piles of tokens to reinforce their standings, at the exclusion of everyone else.
That is the definition of "high barrier to entry" and it will doom Steemit unless something changes.
I also, am not holding my breath.
I'll just watch it happen, and try to support a few minnows on the way down.
