RE: Too much Steemit on Steemit?
I completely agree. The "Steemit" tag has been the top tag since I can remember this site...
But I think the problem is a bit more general. If the "Steemit" tag will be replaced by any other tag, people are going to start writing more about that tag instead, in hopes of getting more upvotes. So this system makes the rich tags richer, meaning that people will probably write more about whichever tag is trending.
Maybe removing the list of top trending tags from the right hand of the page will solve this problem? That way, if people don't see that the "Steemit" tag is trending, they won't have that added incentive to write about it?
Oooh, some good lateral thinking there! I did not consider that. Hmmm, the human psyche is throwing us a bunch of curve balls. There is some food for though in what you propose for the STEEMIT dev, I would say.
