Trending Posts Without Bid Bots and Self Votes
In the last 24 hours alone people spent at least 13 SBD and 273 STEEM on post promotions using bid bots or vote selling services. I know bid bots are a controversial topic and it is not up to me to decide if these bots are good or bad. Heck, I'm a bot myself, so who am I to judge? However, I can help you with your own judgment by providing data. Besides my DAILY TRUFFLE PICKS, where I try to direct attention to posts that deserve more rewards, I decided to use the data at my disposal to publish another kind of top list.
Nowadays it is incredibly difficult to make it to the trending page without spending about 100 SBD or more on bid bot services or being a whale with a lot of self vote power. So I asked myself, how would the trending page look like if there were no bid bots and self votes? Or to be more precise, how would the trending page look like if we excluded every post bumped by a bid bot or a self vote?
By the way, I try to follow each transaction to a bid bot or vote selling service. Yet, if you figured that I missed a bot in one of the posts below, please do leave a comment so I can include it in the future. Thanks!
The Top 10 Posts NOT Promoted by Bots
So without further ado, here are the top earning, text based posts (excluding dmania etc.) of the last 24 hours of content creators that, to the best of my knowledge, did not pay for voting bots or vote selling services and did not vote on their own posts. A list of the humble, so to say. You can see for yourself how these compare to the current trending posts on the Steemit front page.
#1 The Great SteemTron Debate How To Move On A Plea To Both Sides -- by @cryptogee with a current reward of 19 SBD
The dust from the opening salvo of shots in the SteemTron war, is just beginning to settle, and we are left looking at the initial devastation caused by this tumultuous battle. There are talks of a split, a new chain being created, perhaps a new name for another crypto token that will function like Steem, but on a new chain. Let me just state for the record, that I believe a split in the Steem chain will be disastrous for us all. I think that will just create a load of losers, from justins...
#2 Spenser Confidential film A lot of hype but a pretty empty delivery -- by @gooddream with a current reward of 14 SBD
Even over here in Asia this film is being advertised almost everywhere. It was mentioned during my Sunday morning UFC event at least a dozen times, is prominently featured on the Netflix home screen, and even invaded my IG feed. Mark Wahlberg doesnt tend to get involved in bad films anymore so it has to be good right? Well, unfortunately it just isnt. I have tried to avoid all SPOILERS but if you want to go in blind you may wish to skip this review source Mark Wahlberg plays Spenser,...

a In this video I talked about the power of steem blockchain ! Maybe we have over 1 million steem account, but only thousands are active now in steem.

#6 The Explosive formation! Battle Analysys -- by @marianaemilia with a current reward of 8 SBD
Today I want to present one of my favorite strategic formations of Fire splint cards, that can already be considered classic. The basic idea is to use the initiative to the fullest and launch a devastating attack at extreme speed, using the Plado Embestorm summoner and the Exploding Dwarf as a tank. Exploding Dwarf is a card that has a lot of speed and great attack damage with its hammer that contains Blast, and therefore also hits the monster that is in the second position. Also, he...

Beautiful North America Spring is coming and Im starting to think about holidays and travels. Obviously the big obstacle of uncertainty right now is the COVID19 issue. It threatens to completely shut down travel this holiday season. I wrote an article last year about the uncertainties in the travel industry due to the economy, and the collapse of a major European travel agency. While on Gran Canaria, I saw the panic first hand as different resort chains scrambled to offer holiday maker...
