So if you are a Witness isn't that kind of your job to help maintain the integrity of steemit or what is the actual purpose of a witness if not that?

That does not mean I will perform what ever solution someone throw at me. Secondly witness or not I only have about 200SP which would do nothing in downvotes, we maintain the integrity of the Steem network, the trending issue is an issue of Steemit which is just a graphic interface for the Steem blockchain. Witnesses have been trying to fight for better interface and solutions but Steemit In has not done things. People needs to wake up and flood them with requests.

Because Steemit is just an interface that reads the blockchain, if something is not right, just leave Steemit.com and use something else maybe another company can build a better interface, like busy.org for example. Maybe someone can build a website that has a better trending filtering algorithm

Or if you want a trail you may want better rules in the script. Instead of following anyone and downvote whoever they downvote, make the script only downvote for specific blacklisted bid bots and where the total amount used on the bots for the post exceed a certain threshold.
