## Trending Posts Without Bid Bots and Self Votes
In the last 24 hours alone people spent at least **17864 SBD and 641 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-2018-06-06), 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.

> President Trump has been making headlines the last few days by offering one pardon after another. They have been both, as politically baffling, as they have been reality show baffling. From a profiling racist Joe Arpaio to the insider trading homemaker, Martha Stewart; his execution of his pardoning power has been confusing, and somewhat ominous. Confusing that he would waste his time in such a way when there is so much work to be done, but ominous in that, it could be seen as a signal ...

>There is a famous saying of a wise man advising a fool to get his head out of the clouds , this implied to the fact that the fool was busy building castles in the sky but in real life he was not even trying to achieve anything. These people in fact are the ones that get left behind. It is the fact that one needs to actually work hard and break a sweat in order to achieve any of his desires. Everybody dreams, but there are only a few people who actually try their hardest to achieve their drea...

> For the last two months we have been moving to our new home. I put off taking my home office video production studio apart until the very end because after moving it several times already I had an idea of how long it would take. Do you see how many cords and pieces of equipment there are? I am remembering the line from Fight Club about The things you own, own you which felt accurate in the case of my home studio. After over a year of renting the house and trying to figure out how to ...

> I get a lot of discord messages every day from newbies asking me to vote on their posts. Thats ok, I actually encourage people to send me links to their posts every once in a while. The thing is, most of those posts do not fulfill my criteria to vote on them so, to be honest, they are just wasting theirs and my time by sending me those posts. This is the second post I make about manual curation, the last one was about curating the art tag. I will continue to write this kind of posts whenev...
