Disclaimer: This post is not meant to ridicule or irk anyone. It merely consists of some statistical analysis of trending page and my deductions from it. I sincerely hope that the readers will be open hearted and open minded when reading this post.
Today I decided to analysis the trending page for the reward %age by paid/bid bots and the results were shocking...

That's a quite disappointing picture of trending page, as far as I am concerned. 8 out of 10 top trending posts have more than 90% payout reward courtesy of Paid/Bid Bots. 1 post holds a high %age of self vote (Near 45% of total reward payout). I admit that I myself use Paid/Bid Bots, but I do practice restraint in doing so.
I am in no way questioning the content quality of these posts....Some of these, hold great contents that I really loved!!!
But still, so high %age of reward due to Paid/Bid Bots Does Sends a Message!!!
1. Quality content is not enough to get you trending page.
2. Rich/powerful are much more responsible for overall economic abuse of this platform, spammers and minnows are just scapegoat.
3. Steemit Economic System getting more money centric than quality.
You have full right to disagree me, but still you have got to respect my opinion(as I do respect yours). But that the best thing about this platform, that I love....
Freedom of Speech
I said what I felt was right! and I don't regret it. As they say...
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!!!

Whom do we address, the whales. I also did same once and the answer was if you invest why shouldn't you benifit. Is it really the content that matters? I don't think so. There was a provision for number of views on a post that got removed too. You may invest more than 4 hours and so do I till you will bid bot you will never be in trading.
Hope you continue your good work and so does good content creating minnows.
You may be right...but we have got to try:)
Hmm interesting to see when you crunch out the numbers! Didn’t realize that
That's what I worry about most...honest, genuine steemians being deprived of their rightful place on this platform...
My feeling is Hive (communities) will do a lot to fix this. As trending right now just has no way to filter down to the type of content you prefer.
I am always scanning the new section of tags i like to follow. Trending just doesn't' do it for me.
Yeah...it's always the same picture in trending, more or less...

I am not going pretend that I fully understand the dynamics of the subject matter in your post... but isn't it possible to to set a fair limit on Paid/bid bots?
Anyway, the main reason I stopped by was to thank you for visiting my introduction post. :)
It is really very sad :(
