Trending is not just a reward mechanism.
- It is a discovery layer.
It is the page that answers a silent question every new or returning user asks:
“What is happening here, and why should I care?”

The issue is not that people are posting the “wrong” things. The issue is that the incentive structure promotes sameness. Auto votes, delegation loops, and predictable voting blocs funnel rewards toward content that is safe, familiar, and internally legible but externally unremarkable. That creates a feedback loop where creators optimize for rewards instead of resonance.
If trending looks like a private bulletin board instead of a living ecosystem, capital behaves accordingly.
Spot on - that sameness kills discovery. Imagine if social algos like Grok's mixed in real AI curation to surface wild, resonant stuff instead of the echo chamber 🚀
