## Trending Posts Without Bid Bots and Self Votes
    
In the last 24 hours alone people spent at least **50 SBD and 556 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](https://steemit.com/steemit/@trufflepig/daily-truffle-picks-2019-12-31), 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** [Kevin Hart Dont FK this up .... on Netflix](https://steemit.com/@gooddream/kevin-hart-don-t-f-k-this-up-on-netflix)  --  **by @gooddream with a current reward of 32 SBD**

>I suppose you would need to be a Kevin Hart fan to appreciate this docu series but these days it seems as though pretty much everyone is a Kevin Hart fan. This isnt the first series that Hart has done with Netflix, but in my opinion, it is the best one. source This docuseries is a bit different from those I have seen in the past in the way that it really es into Kevins personal life, even the embarrassing stuff that I am sure he would prefer we all forget. This notion is highlighted in...

>If you have any that is, who knows maybe youre already doing everything perfectly. P Im planning on becoming more organized not just in life but in my steem life as well who am I kidding the former doesnt really exist. Im going to be focusing more on the things that are important such as building communities and helping onboard new users which weve had a lack of lately. Going to also stop usesless confrontations about downvotes and ignore the people known to be abusers and trying to justi...

**#3** [Dogs and fireworks im not going out for New Years ](https://steemit.com/@gooddream/dogs-and-fireworks-i-m-not-going-out-for-new-years)  --  **by @gooddream with a current reward of 19 SBD**

>To anyone that lives over here this is probably pretty obvious. To anyone that lives anywhere and care about their dogs Id imagine the the same story is true. Dogs are really scared of fireworks and well, we are upon that time of year now arent we. source In the west we have certain regulations against when people can send explosives to the sky but here over in Thailand and the other countries in this area I think that people are pretty much allowed to do them whenever the fuck th...

>I have rarely felt the simple pleasant sensation of fatigue. As a solo mom entrepreneur, I have pingponged with monotonous regularity between being driven and being exhausted, between relentless activity and collapse. I generally sleep like someone in a coma most nights, and often spring out of bed with my agenda already running like a sacred mantra, usually somewhere before 5am. Every. Single. Day. I have also paid the price a very high price on multiple occasions with serious lif...

Zero all judgements, dont be hold back by the past energy. Recalibrate your passion focus cannon on the future outcomes. Scrub the 10 year slate clean, whatever went before is done.

>I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw us dominate proceedings from the start of the game. By the 30th minute, we had already registered more than 6 attempts and by the 37th minute, we took a welldeserved lead through a corner kick that flicked off Chambers to Auba who headed it in. At the end of that half, we were flying and created chance after chance, and if it wasnt for Lacazettes profligacy, we would have casually been three goals up. source The intensity on show from the getgo wa...

> OF COURSE YOU DO!! I want to engage in some action, a showoffaith if you will. I want to tag mindtrap in this post. He is a friend, and mentor of mine who is in my belief rightly advocating the STEEM platform. He says, and I paraphrase, What the fuck would you power down for when the price of STEEM is low?!?! It is a general rule of logic that you BUY when something is low, so this would be the RIGHT time to powerup as much STEEM as you can while it is worth little! Think about what...
