Your assumptions of what contributes to the trending algorithm are incorrect.

Maybe we are not seeing the same thing

Do you believe the engagement I have highlighted is coming from accounts that are fair to include in your DAU?

I am stating the Trending cast algorithm is being gamed, not personally by me (i.e. I am not in control of the sockpuppets that are rampant here)

I don’t want to be flooded with artificial engagement — yet, here we are 

Mind answering my question: do you believe the engagement I have highlighted is coming from accounts that are fair to include in your DAU?

Those are separate issues. You claimed you gamed the trending algo. You didn’t.
