Here is how the Steemit Trending Page would look like without Bid Bots and Self Votes! (11.12.2019)
## Trending Posts Without Bid Bots and Self Votes
    
In the last 24 hours alone people spent at least **8 SBD and 399 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-2019-12-11), 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** [Illumination Buddha art. How I use Negativity As Rocket Fuel. Painting Timelapse](https://steemit.com/@jankasparec/illumination-buddha-art-how-i-use-negativity-as-rocket-fuel-painting-timelapse)  --  **by @jankasparec with a current reward of 55 SBD**

>Time for long and vulnerable share for my Steemit family and some of my recent Art! Buddha of Illumination lit up my recent darkness. It was not an emotionally easy time lately for me.

What I made out of these strong emotions will be shared in this post. Every energy, regardless of its vibration low or high can be embraced, transformed and used ...

I dont think so or maybe I am not ready to denote or called myself a photographer because photography is something that I enjoy and love.

>Ive been resisting but i finally gave in and bought then powered up 5K Steem yesterday. Im not exactly rolling in it ATM, but I took advantage of a 3.4 money transfer offer for 2 years from Barclaycard and transferred 1000 to my bank account. I shoved 500 to purchase Steem and yes, Steem is pretty much bang on 10 pence ATM, and then another 500 in my ISA. It seemed silly not to max out my credit card when I get a larger return on my cash savings as long as I pay off exactly on the ...
