But wouldn't be the difference here that no central company could manipulate what is trending? If it would be coded what is necessary to get in trending. e.g how many post about a topic in a certain time frame and gotten likes/zaps/replies etc.

I mean I guess I would like to see what is trending when it really! is happening right now in the world.

But as always, clients should build whatever they want. But could make it optional in the client. The market then will punch them in the face if it was a bad decision or reward them if vice versa.
