It still isn't deemed "Trending"???

The ones cureently "trending" have only 39, 35, 31, 21, 17.... and they have the advantage of being on the "Trending" list.

Given those numbers, is it fair to state, objectively and empirically, that the label "trending" as it is actually applied on DU, is misleading?

Shouldn't the editors be honest and relabel their front page "editors' picks"?

While the planet burns and dies, advertising priorities rule the underground?
