RE: The Trending Page AKA the Front Page of Steemit
I ignore Trending, Hot, and Promoted. It took me less than a week on Steemit to figure out that those pages were meaningless and completely antithetical to quality, community-upvoted content. Steem needs to reward content that is older than 7 days. I doubt people will keep losing money to promote their content week after week. If they do, so what? Why not have moderated communities, similar to those on Facebook? I suppose SMTs might enable that.

It is great that you figured out the flaws in our trending and hot pages in such a short time.
Rewarding content older than 7 days is an interesting idea. I'm not sure how difficult that would be to implement and what content would qualify.
The SMTs will be interesting but I'm not sure what to expect. All will be revealed soon enough.
