Steemit : The Veil behind Trending Page.
Ever wonder, how many posts got into Trending pages and make people to hold their dropping Jaws??.
Every now and then the Trending page on Steemit flash many new posts with heavy $ Dollor amount pulling up user to think of their posts too to appear on Trending someday. Authors having Posts with heavy payout and loads of upvotes become an icon overnight and many user started to follow them expecting to receive their love and grace or their support on their own posts.
However , with all the glamorous looks of Trending page the reality is different. The reality came with bitter truth which is use of BID-BOTS on their posts to make them Trending on Steemit.
There is a very common saying, "Behind every successful Men there is a Women"
but does that apply on Steemit.??
It would be no harm to say ,
Behind every successful Post there are Bid bots.
I have taken the screenshot from one of the posts on Trending page. The post is raking huge Mullahah in $ and have been a point of talk with many commentz.
Just thought of peeping behind the Voter Veil, i was amazed to see every single BOT been used to promote the posts . Look at the image, hardly there is Bid-Bot which is missing from the list. Those who have voted are the bigger bot owner on Steemit.
Once @berniesanders took on these flashy posts with #rewardpoolrape theme and later @grumpycat started to bite on users with heavy use of bid bot. But many authors remain safe and noone have the guts to raise finger on them.
Whales , Dolphin and Orca are just a name now. They are not in Game in anyhow. Bid-Bots are the only way to make things happening on Steemit, if you got a heavy wallet, you can use them to be on trending. Or earn huge bots votes. But beware if you keep following the trending authors, you only helping them increase their follower list , you not gonna receving anytjing in return.
The most important note, If you not like all the Glamour and Showoffs and also do not want to be in Trending , then just keep engaging yourself and build a strong community.
Stay Calm....
Keep Steeming...Steem On !!!

Great post and well written my friend.
True about the whales and I honestly never gotten to trend side or even close to any spotlight..lol
Whales are like ghost sometimes, rarely see them. I hope you are having a wonderful week.
Thank you for sharing. Cheers! 🤗🌼🌻
i don't have that kind of #money for such bots- one time I responded to what I thought was a #bot - that had upvoted me randomly - in a gently sarcastic tone and, an individual came back to tell they were, in fact, a real person:) @angrytwin
Ohh @angrytwin.....haha...you seems to be lucky chap 😉👍 ...getting such votes is very rare now....atleast some one is getting it 👌loved it ...

Aye, guilty as charged!
We have a major issue with this subject as now the larger accounts have moved from creating and interacting to delegating and boosting crap. It’s a sad state of affairs when you can determine your own ranking in trending and what that post should be paid and at a profit nonetheless.
Why do I use bid-bots? I pay my curators & upvoters plus gain a profit and visibility yet it’s not organic interest. From time to time I will get good interaction but since day one this craving has never been filled here as those who interact are busy creating like myself or those with the investment only care to increase their own rewards.

Like you say, best to ignore trending and focus on getting involved with a few communities and engaging to build loyal followers. Cheers!
Thanks @abh12345 it has its own fun....the more you engage the more you enjoy.....better than featuring in page3 on newspaper😉

One of the largest upvote buyers was recently banned from one of the bots (smartmarket).
Ohh thats is flashing news...i think it was one of the big and dream project of realwolf..right ?

Yes his post called "enough is enough" says it all. He bans an account that is always on the trending page due to excessive upvote buying. I left a positive comment (I thought) but was flagged. Never mind.
Haha...just saw the post...you have editted your coment ? ... The first sentence does make bad meaning in first look.. ..anyway you can check with realwolf directly he is nice guy

I don't even remember the last time I looked on the Trending page. It has been trashed by Bid Bots Upvotes.
I am not against Bid Bots though, I believe you should use Bid Bots to put your post to the Hot Page and then let the audience decide if they want to Upvote that or not.
Trending page is absolutely no worth all advertisenment.
