hmm yeah. 'when used correctly', might be a tough one. We do have some people who would choose to stick their content on a different pile, and they are perhaps the ones discussion disputes (as the new creator has just arrived and is all about art not arguments).
But I think t depends on which window to the chain you are looking in from. Hive.blog/peakd Trending/Hot is probably always going to be all over the place, and I think it will be up to (advert presenting-inflation burning, nice interface creating, smart guys in charge, account muting-more centralized) communities, like leofinance.io to make their own way to their public.
stemgeeks.net is probably the strictest community for Trending/Hot content, you wont catch much about disputes - and posts are zero'd and accounts muted.
You reminded me of this one, although on re-read it's not so close, but did have:
Communities may well also choose to hide
Bot boostedposts from their feeds in order to keep a solid set of Trending/Hot posts which match their vision and goals at the head of affairs
@abh12345/who-will-create-the-content-for-the-bid-bots-to-promote-in-the-future
Anyway, yes that tag would be welcome for use with the 'general' interfaces, and I would have used it on this post.
