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 My Physical Letter to Coinbase A Steem Listing Initiative -- by @kenmelendez with a current reward of 77 SBD

Calling all Steemians...Its time for the ultimate Steem listing initiative...are you ready? As many of you are aware, we took first place in the recent contest that Netcoins.com was holding, proving there is power within our community. Even in this bear market we still came out on top which speaks volumes on what a blockchainbased social network is capable of achieving. In light of that glorious victory, I would like to propose another initiative and invite the entire community to hop o...

#2 Haunted My song about a Haunted house. Music video SamhainHalloween premiere and photoshoot. -- by @yidneth with a current reward of 42 SBD

a You know that there are places youd better not roam alone in. You can feel that weird sensation that alerts you. What if the ghost in a haunted place is the place itself? Cross the fence and enter into the desolate feelings of an abandoned house. Places are not haunted by ghosts but by desolation. I have not been much around these last few weeks because I was working on this music video. It took a lot of work and I battled with my old computer, but finally it is here, and right fo...

#3 Spray Paint Art -- by @pinkspectre with a current reward of 40 SBD

iframe width560 height315 frameborder0 allowaccelerometer; autoplay; encryptedmedia; gyroscope; pictureinpicture allowfullscreen My father in law recently watched some videos on youtube and learned how to make spray paint art. Hed only been doing it for a few days when he made this for a friend, who wanted a pyramid picture. He uses a small lazy susan to work on so he can easily turn the picture while he is working. He also uses a few stencils, for things like a wolf or dolphin or person, ...

#4 ABQ Reviews The Range -- by @pinkspectre with a current reward of 40 SBD

The Range Cafe is a must visit for anyone coming to the Land of Enchantment. On top of having a fantastic menu, each location is wonderfully weird, a colorful and cool place to enjoy a great meal. We are always sure to take out of town guests to The Range. They take ordinary foods and put a perfect New Mexican spin on them. For instance, their breakfast menu features plain jane pancakes, but they also serve blue corn pancakes that feature blueberries and toasted pions. Of course New Mexicos...

#5 Bedside Table Theory -- by @pinkspectre with a current reward of 40 SBD

My bedside table is the one piece of furniture in my home that I interact with everyday. It is the first thing I see when I wake up, the last thing I see before I go to bed. It occurred to me that objects laying on top of it mostly books were a good indication of my personality. Wanting to test the theory, a quick glance at my husbands bedside table expanded the research group and confirmed the theory. On his bedside table guitar pick, travel book, retro light, vintage comic book, a book...

#7 Why I Love HIIT -- by @pinkspectre with a current reward of 38 SBD

altDumbbells, Training, Fitness, Gym, Workout, Exercise If you havent heard of HIIT, let me introduce you to my favorite form of cardio exercise. HIIT stands for high intensity interval training. When exercising with this form, you are providing maximum energy expenditure through short bursts of physical activity. For instance, a typical HIIT routine may involve 30 second intervals of burpees, jump squats, or mountain climbers repeated 3 times with 10 second active rest in between each in...

#8 Calypso by David Sedaris book IMO a triumphant return -- by @gooddream with a current reward of 38 SBD

I am a big fan of Sedaris. There is something about his matteroffact normal way of speaking combined with incredible wit and humor that the common man can understand and I am definitely common that makes me really appreciate his prose. That being said, his last couple of books and several mixed inbetween have been a little less than amazing. This was was not his best, but much better than most. David Sedaris is at his best when he is describing actual things that happened to him in h...

#9 Pawn Sacrifice film true story that I never knew before watching this -- by @gooddream with a current reward of 38 SBD

I was well before my time and it was about chess, therefore I guess it wasnt historically important enough for me to have ever heard of Bobby Fischer. However, this is an incredible film that really showcases Tobey Maguires talents as an actor. As is explained over an over again in the movie, this was a story of a poor boy from Brooklyn who just happened to take to chess like a fish to water. Fischer was incredibly gifted and he taught himself how to play. He, at a very young age, ...

#10 New arrivals at ABQ Zoo -- by @pinkspectre with a current reward of 38 SBD

At the Albuquerque Zoo, Thorn, the baby elephant is growing up and has is feeling right at home with his herd.

The newest giraffes at the ABQ Biopark are doing well, too. Oneyearold Jambazzi and his sister Malika are up over 800 pounds now. A pair of baby lemurs are healthy after coming to live ...
