These are the Daily Top 10 Trending posts on Steemit.

But why is this important?

It forms a history of what was deemed important enough to be included in the first posts new visitors see on the Steemit Platform.

Yes, it's our advertising to the world so we'd better hope it's good.

But as a twist I'm also going to reveal if those posts are using excessive self-promotion to get to the front page.

So let's jump straight into it.

Well it's barely a pass mark today Steemit and as predicated yesterday the self-promotion got worse today. And I think we were only saved by a couple of @adsactly posts rounding out the top 10.

What was interesting is the Jerry Banfield Roadshow was shut down big time by @rolandp and others, because you can't just steal someones brand and try to make it your own.

His post went from $1000+ to $600+ because of some negative votes. But still remains in the top 5 stop on the trending charts.

I think this comment summed it up best

And received a sizable upvote as a reward.
