Trending Posts Without Bid Bots and Self Votes
In the last 24 hours alone people spent at least 10 SBD and 85 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 RED CRYPTO MARKET Global Economy Collapse Daily Vlog -- by @priyanarc with a current reward of 17 SBD
a Many of you have already noticed the entire world economic condition and the whole economy collapsed a few days back. Reasons are many but this is the first time I have seen how BTC price was getting down infront of my eyes. Well, I am not a trader or still a beginner of the crypto journey. I think people are dumping too much because of a panic attack and there are other reasons why this is happening and why people are dumping. Crypto is for the long term and for those who think abo...
#2 Lessons From The Last Crypto Crashes KEEP STEEMING... -- by @rok-sivante with a current reward of 10 SBD
Lifes kinda interesting how it gives us multiple opportunity to learn from our past failures... This may be one of those points. Yes, crypto took another big hit. And its understandable how this can be discouraging and affect our motivation levels. Yet, its also perhaps the perfect time to reflect upon what lessons there were the last times this happened and act upon the wisdom we failed to... My first rocket ship of profitability right at the start of Steemit was fantastic. Reward...
#3 Metabolism of our Brain! -- by @zeesh with a current reward of 8 SBD
Dont freak out by seeing the title! We all know that theres a direct link between our brain and our food habit. And the activity of our brain also depends on our lifestyle and what we are intaking like food. Especially if anyone is facing any kind of mental health issue, we can focus on our diet plan. How we think, how we see the world is very connected with what kind of food we eat. photo Therere many studies on this how food increases our brainpower. So if we want to give a goo...

#5 The invisible menace. -- by @blind-spot with a current reward of 6 SBD
The biggest accomplishment man has is what he possesses. There was a tale of an old woman and her youngest son. The woman hysterically mourned the death of her son, he left way too young. The son was only 80 years old and not even close to his youth. A passerby asked her why was she so devastated and she replied she had lost her child at the ripe age of 80. During those times human hit youth at the age of 300 and lived for more than 10 centuries, so it was truly sad to die at just 80. Th...
#6 Art and Creativity Its a Good Time to Get Some Work Done! -- by @reddragonfly with a current reward of 6 SBD
While the world is going crazy and melting down, its easy to get caught up in all the fear mongering. But seriously, theres more to life than running around in a circle, losing your nut because you only have 3,455 rolls of toilet paper started away... Kidding aside, the sort of voluntary quarantine or social distancing as officialdom calls it thats being recommended is actually not such a bad thing for most artists and creatives... its actually an indirect invitation to get some creative wo...
#7 Outcome of 3 days power down on Steem Blockchain -- by @bala41288 with a current reward of 6 SBD
brWith the current situation of the Blockchain and the way the discussions are going, I personally feel that there is a high possibility that Steem blockchain can split into two blockchains. One group standing with the community consisting of the former steem witnesses and another group supporting Justin and Tron looking forward to seeing some great improvement in the chain after Justin becomes the in charge. You have to note that Im uttering the word in charge. The main reason for it is t...

a altCorona shut down The sound of silenceRead Corona shut down The sound of silence on TravelFeed.io for the best experiencehr This is the first day after the shutdown, the first day the corona virus crisis has taken on a face, here, in a small town in the eastern part of Germany, where just a few days ago it was said that there were no cases of infection at all. Now everything is different. We have 15 cases, 200 people under quarentine. This is not a region under heavy load. Eastern ge...
#9 Whats Plan C? -- by @adetorrent with a current reward of 6 SBD
Its cancelled. I had been gearing up for the first photoshoot of 2020. It was supposed to happen next week, but now its been cancelled due to the novel coronavirus outbreak. Social distancing is one of the ways we are protecting ourselves from passing the virus from person to person, but also not hanging out in crowds where ones chances of contracting the virus are raised. From Londons point of view, the public transport, especially London Underground, is the perfect setting for the viru...
#10 Coleman Trebor From Star Wars Ink Drawing -- by @firefly2020 with a current reward of 5 SBD
Hello Everyone. I hope youre all doing great. Id like to share this drawing of Coleman Trebor from Star Wars. He was a Vurk Jedi Master that served the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic as a member of the Jedi High Council. His home planet is Sembla, and he was killed by Jango Frett in the Battle of Geonosis. I used a black ball point pen and pelican paper for this drawing. The reference photo I used was blurry but i tried my best in getting a close resemblance to the character. Here a...
