Here is how the Steemit Trending Page would look like without Bid Bots and Self Votes! (22.07.2020)
## Trending Posts Without Bid Bots and Self Votes
    
In the last 24 hours alone people spent at least **267 SBD and 808 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-2020-07-22), 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.

> Do you know who the FedEx assassin is, at least according to the official story. Lawyer Roy Den Hollender. He dressed up as the delivery driver and shot Judge Esther Salass family. And he was an antifeminist and misogynist and was angry at the judge over a court case from two years ago, at least according to the mainstream media narrative. But this doesnt really make sense. What we have found out about this Hollender guy is that in the early 2000s he worked for Kroll. What is Kroll? I...

> When they talk about us, it is a virtue that elevates us to a place of selfcriticism and supreme control, we give signals to remarkable fields of energy vibration. Successful dreams bring new dreams that bring us closer to the boundaries of virtue, open doors bring the wind of emotional tenderness.  There is a great desire ahead of us that covers the traces of excitement, this is a moment that raises us to the level of courage to go one step further. A broken destiny assembles parts...

> I was a lucky winner of spud4steem in July. I won third place and I received an 1800 SP delegation from bippe ciska and kiwicrypto also a 25 upvote from steemcurator01. Sometimes you may think, why you should do this. I will tell you why I did this. As we know Power Up is the process of converting liquid Steem into STEEM POWER. Before my power up in last July 1st, my steem power was 332. I wanted to increase my power from the beginning but I wanted to do it in a more meaningful way....
