It's interesting to see how the community is growing on Leofinance and more interesting (sometimes sad though) to see what kind of content gets supported.

Yesterday I had a post about what drives people to Leofinance, what they appreciate the most and the feedback I got was very interesting, encouraging and exactly what I was hoping for. Obviously it can't be taken as the voice of the entire community as only a few people replied, but it's their opinion and I respect that.

Reading about what they like, or would like to see on Leofinance led me to think about how content creation is influenced here, knowingly or/and unknowingly.

There's a lot of confusion regarding what kind of content fits the profile of the platform. There's a FAQ that lists the most common categories of content we see on LeoFinance.    

This is more or less clear. If you have financial education or experience you know what it means. If not, you most likely try to interpret the list as you best can and some may be confused when they see Hive as it can mean the Hive blockchain, the Hive community and they don't know it refers to the token and the economics related to it.

@khaleelkazi had two posts (1, 2) lately about what he'd like to support on Leo, what kind of content would be appreciated. The first post started a debate as the users had something to say about the matter, one opinion came after another and there was another post later with the conclusions and about how the community managed to influence Khal's decision.

We all know how important proof of stake is on our blockchain and what's the role of stake. Anyone with a stake can influence what kind of posts get into the trending section and that's what we have to watch for a week or so, till the post is trending, like it or not.

There's a *Curators Pick* section at the top of the page, which indicates the choice of the Leofinance curator team. That's clearly based on what curators is voting, users have little to do with it I believe.

There's the *Recent Posts* section which gets less space on the front page, I've suggested a change in the setup in an earlier post to change that but that is besides the point now, that's not what I'd like to talk about today.

The thing is, we are all responsible for what gets in the trending section. Most of us have stake and our voting behavior influences what kind of content is popular.

So let's see, what are you voting on? What kind of content are you supporting? How are you influencing the trending page?
