The Top 10 Posts NOT Promoted by Bots

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.

#2 Playing Bass versus Playing Guitar -- by @ned with a current reward of 130 SBD

I spent one summer as a kid in the moist cement air of the garage learning bass on my moms red four string while taking lessons from my dad, but somehow got frustrated and stopped. A couple years later I picked up guitar, at age 16. And guitar was cool in my eyes though I had competing feelings that I didnt need to be cool, that my dad was a guitar player, that I should play something different and that I could change the world on bass. When I got into guitar something took me over and ...

#4 What to expect out of your first kiteboarding lesson -- by @ourdailyboard with a current reward of 102 SBD

You should expect for the school to provide all the gear. The gear should be in good working order to where you will be safe and secure.

#5 Deck pad The Octopus is real -- by @ourdailyboard with a current reward of 97 SBD

Ive noticed people are starting to ride with deck pads on the front of their short boards. While I am not much of a short board rider I am happy to see this happening because it means that our local surf shops are stocking deck pads!! When kiteboarding on a strapless surfboard it is essential to have a front deck pad. But for surfing prone the deck pad can chafe on your chest if it is too bulky and the added weight changes the performance of the board. For kitesurfing, I have tried ...

#7 Stranger than Fiction Not what you expect from Will Ferrell -- by @gooddream with a current reward of 96 SBD

I think this is one of those movies that simply passed most people by but I for one really appreciated Ferells capabilities in a serious role. Up until this point I am relatively certain that Will had only been involved in overthetop comedic roles which is fine. I mean, that is what we all love him for and he is very good at it. The being said, this film, while it does have its comedic moments from time to time is a drama. There arent very many actors out there that can transition ...

#8 Fun with knots The monkeys fist -- by @ourdailyboard with a current reward of 92 SBD

Living on the coast I end up spending a lot of time on boats and a lot of time throwing a line or tying up to the dock. The beach culture includes fishing and boating and there is a lot of rope around here. I decided to get into some projects with some of the rope that other people have thrown out. The monkeys fist was my first project. As it turns out with about 4 feet of line you can make a nice monkeys fist. Traditionally the Monkeys Fist knot was used as a messenger line, allo...

#10 Braeburns World Cup Blog Day 1 -- by @marcusbraeburn with a current reward of 70 SBD

And so the waiting is over, it is time to put aside the memories of past tournaments. All the successes, failures, hopes and disappointments mean nothing now. We must put history to bed and focus solely on the next few weeks. Well actually no, history is everything at the World Cup, and we would be wise not to ignore it!
