I was read this , and I had something my head fast ....
" I was always checking out the Trending page and dreaming about getting those big whale upvotes that would launch me to the stars... "

I hope you believe me, but I barely look at this trending page, I don't want to say that there are bad things up there, but for some reason this page has not attracted me very much to go in there not now, and not even before. But for this I follow many users everywhere in HIVE world, so my feed contains lot posts and I sit 99% all time on my feed :)) and I take posts there who I upvote , it also means small ones get also my upvotes and my Upvotes just not go in trending pages posts where is already given a lot for them.

I tell also lot this when I have find new users to tell them to come here in, not follow upvotes, try think what you can post every day or every two days so your pages all time works , and this big things fill come in anyway for you if you always use Hive pages in HIVE world.
