RE: How would you like rewards to be allocated?
That would be a far more useful trending page IMHO. Still, given the pandering rampant on Steem, the comments of folks pandering would still skew such a metric, albeit to a lesser degree than payout.
I reckon that we should each be able to create filters that recommends content to us, and that a real world reputation metric that is truly subjective would be a great utility for that purpose. There's probably not a better gauge than you suggest for an outward facing trending page, as folks not on Steem can't be availed of such a reputation metric. Engagement is probably the very best metric for such an outward facing trending page.
Thanks!
Edit: also, your parrot seems broken, you pirate. =p

I'm yet to see a comment earn more than the post it is linked to for providing additional context or opinion; that isn't charged by a self-vote army, or some unscrupulous vote trading. That would be neat to see. Perhaps the "value" of all comments on a post relative to the actual post itself would be an interesting metric to show true engagement.
i.e post is $1.00, value of votes for comments is 0.20c, votes are from other parties that are not the post author or comment-leaver. That could have an engagement score of 20%, or something. Just thinking out aloud. :)
Regarding the "parrot": It's a chicken! The pet of my soon to be mother in law. It is named "Special". It once tried to wander into a pre-heating oven on its own accord. She's a silly chicken.
I have seen comments that organically were upvoted higher than the OP, but it's not common at all.
Chickens are the most vicious predators I have ever met the gaze of. I am damn glad to be larger than them. Prolly make good pets.
