RE: New Trending Algorithm - Attempt Number 5
Very good attempt. I understand how difficult it is to come up with an automatic system for evaluating the quality of content. But your approach is promising.
I agree with @chriddi. It would be great to eliminate the influence of automatic voting services, as they distort the trending page. But this is probably only possible with the help of a blacklist, which will also constantly require manual moderation. Manual moderation will always be subject to speculation and criticism. Who will decide which service is considered "bad"?
As an option, you can ignore votes that were cast within 6-7 minutes after the post was published. We know that most bots vote 5 minutes after publishing a post.
I don’t believe it constitutes a form of criticism to exclude the automatic votes. They are simply meant to be removed from the calculation. That is not a judgement in the sense of “bad”. Such posts can, of course, still appear in the trendings, provided they receive enough other votes.
I would even take it a step further and exclude entire communities. Specifically those where votes are cast by Steemcurator 01 and 02, or by HungryGriffin, etc. This concerns, for example, the POD-Community. And I think we can all agree that this content is heavily upvoted, but would not necessarily encourage outsiders to consider it high-quality.
Yes, that is also possible. But as I had already chriddi replied, the corrections to particular votes don't have much impact.
Thanks for your opinion anyway. I don't know yet what priority I will give the project in the future.
