In the last 24 hours alone people spent at least 1638 SBD and 16371 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!
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.

#3 A Small Garden near the Subway Station, Seoul -- by 
It is a pleasure to find out unexpected things in our lives. After looking around Chogyeosa temple, I walked along the road to the subway station. This area near the temple always made me think of my young age period. When I was a high school student, I was happened to spend my time in this place. There was a very famous book store. So I had read books. I didnt have money, so buying books was not allowed to me at that time. It means that I was so accustomed to this area. I had dated with m...
#4 Cannabis Legalization is a Lie 2019 documentary 45min -- by

As part of Vancouvers cannabis activism community, I was there to document the violent removal of any resistance to the governments corporate monopoly of cannabis. You will see the rise and fall of the Vancouver 420 Farmers Markets, a peaceful ...

#6 Coach Carter film Awesome movie -- by 
I cant believe that it took me this long to actually see this film. It was a released in 2005 and has a few faces you will recognize in it, but mostly if focuses on Samual Jackson. source When it comes to sports related biopics I think there are two camps out there Those that love them, and those that find the twists and turns too predictable. While I can identify with where the 2nd group is coming from I still end up falling into the first category. Yes, we know that the ending mu...
#7 Circle movie it tries hard to not suck, but its terrible -- by
This lowbudget film tries to rope us in with an interesting concept for a film it worked on me and then hires bad actors and has 99 of the film take place in one room with dialogue that is so bad that it becomes difficult to watch very quickly. source The description of the movie is something along the lines of being trapped in a room and needing to decide whether or not 50 people live or die. I dont remember exactly what it was but they did a good job of roping me in because it seeme...

#9 Today in History Mein Kampf first published -- by
The year was 1925 and a yet littleknown small man by the name of Adolf Hitler was about to publish his first work which describes the process of how it is that he came to hate Jews and also his future plan for Germany. source I feel as though I should point out that I am not glorifying this book or Hitler. I am not a fan. I am merely pointing out a moment in history of one of the most famous, evil, and notorious people to ever live. Dont get the wrong idea about me. I have never r...
