RE: The 12 hour payout time is the best feature of the recent hard fork
The trending page does have more movement, but I think there is an unintended downside as well. The posts that start trending after the initial 12 hours has passed will likely stay trending for the entire 30 days before the final payout. It definitely opens up the playing field though!
Trending for the entire 30 days is problematic in my opinion. I just wrote a post on this: https://steemit.com/steem/@riensen/are-you-ready-for-cheetah-being-on-the-front-page-for-the-next-30-days
I saw that post about the cheetah bot and thought the exact same thing! Great write up. But on the other hand, I had my first true trending post yesterday after the new 12 hr cycle was implemented so I can't really complain. It was a short story too which is crazy to me. I never write fiction. Go figure. Here it is if anyone wants to check it out! https://steemit.com/fiction/@mindover/nobody-will-ever-believe-you-an-original-sci-fi-short-story
I didn't consider that, it will be interesting to see how the 30 day period plays out with huge posts.
