What would YOU like to see in trending?

Since we launched PALnet I've been keeping an eye on the feedback people have been giving and while it's overwhelmingly positive I have read a few posts and heard a few people complaining in discord about the trending page.

We all know the trending page on steemit isn't really organic and the top posts tend to mostly be promoted by bidbots, at the moment there are no bidbots that upvote you with staked PAL so we have had a chance to see what humans will push to the top naturally. This has been an interesting experiment!

### Current snapshot of trending on palnet as I write this:

Since this whole project is still relatively new I think it's natural that the current top posts are mostly announcements relating to nitrous and scot tokens, but as things settle I think that will normalize and hopefully include more varied topics. In fact we can already see a variety of posts from different genres if we scroll down a bit.

### So what I want to ask our users is: What do YOU want to see on trending? If you had the stake to push things to the top what would they be? This is pretty subjective and it is obviously impossible to make everyone happy, we all have different tastes after all.

Historically I've used my stake to support art and music the most but since gaining a large amount of PAL stake I have felt a responsibility to spread it around to users outside those communities. As more PAL gets distributed and more people are voting I will probably move more weight back into those areas but I am always looking for great authors to curate!

### If you know of any great authors using the PALnet tag feel free to drop a link to their profile and I will take a look and possibly give some upvotes if I agree with you!
