The trending page is not an accurate representation of the depth of the articles on the platform; we’re working on a number of features to allow people to better tailor their reading to their preferences (beyond a simple “follow”).

If you’re logged out, the trending page is across the whole of the network; that’s of course going to skew toward cryptocurrencies at the moment because, well, Steem itself is also a blockchain and cryptocurrency.

That’s like complaining that HN is about “internet stuff”. Duh. :)
