Trending Posts Without Bid Bots and Self Votes

In the last 24 hours alone people spent at least 76 SBD and 6788 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.

One of my favorite scenes in the movie is that Mary is suing the court to attend all white high school.When the judge reminded her that Virginia was still apartheid and that the local law still supported all white schools and refused to accept black students.She cleverly quoted the experience of judges and put forward the argument of the importance of being the first. Black women attend all white schools, unheard of in Virginia Just as before astronaut Alan Shepard, it was unheard of for...

#6 Edward Scissorhands -- by @hyj with a current reward of 46 SBD

!.png This is a sad movie, which was destined to be a tragedy from the beginning. I dont always like to use the word doomed, or be doomed to. But you see, ever since Edward left the castle, everything can only end in tragedy. Everything was full of metaphors until I saw Edward finally cut his clothes with scissors, which was like a perfect metaphor. I dont know what the director wants to express, but what I see in it is a desolate world with eyes, like a whole desert. There is no room for ...

#9 Moonlight -- by @hyj with a current reward of 44 SBD

Under the four politically correct hats of black homosexual poverty drugs, moonlight seems to be running for the Oscar very opportunely, especially under the pressure of public opinion that there was no black film shortlisted last year.However, it was the first black film Ive ever seen that didnt preach bitterness. Why do you say that?First of all, there is no white man in the film, and there is no black people being bullied as a race in the movie. Secondly, although the protagonist Th...
