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 YaksaJeon in the Opposite Side of Paradise Hall in Tongdosa Temple, Korea -- by @slowwalker with a current reward of 73 SBD

There was an Yaksajeon hall standing at the right of Yeongsanjeon posted in previous. Yaksajeon is the hall for serving the Bodhisattva of the Medicine. In my guess, the reason why they set up the Yaksajeon is something related to the desire of ordinary people. Most ordinary people had not other means except praying for when they were ill. The arrangement of the Yaksajeon and the paradise hall seemed intentional thinking next steps after the fatal disease. People used to visit the tem...

#2 The Daily Mirror by David Lehman -- by @pinkspectre with a current reward of 39 SBD

This collection of poetry is returned to so often in my life, that my decades old copy is ragged and dogeared, the pages softened by my admiration. David Lehman is certainly one of my favorite contemporary poets; his style has always struck me as unique. His writing possesses a vivid imagery and his ability to touch the full spectrum of human emotion in a few simple lines has always stood out among the contemporary poets. On top of his ability to honestly capture even small feelings, I have...

#3 This Marine Worm is Longer Than a Blue Whale! -- by @pinkspectre with a current reward of 39 SBD

Did you you know there is a worm that can grow up to 180 feet 55 meters long! Sounds farfetched, but this worm is one of the most common marine worms found along the coast of Britain. Known as the bootlace worm, it is a species of marine ribbon worm which can release an extremely toxic mucus and preys on crustaceans and other invertebrates. Dr. Mary Gillham Lineus longissimus is one of the longest known animal species, though it usually reaches lengths of 50 feet or less, and is only a...

#4 Kitarou of the Graveyard, a short review -- by @eaudebla with a current reward of 29 SBD

Today, Im going to talk a bit about the origins of Hakaba Kitarou Kitarou of the Graveyard, and its 2008 anime adaptation. In case you ventured into GeGeGe no Kitarou circles like I did, you would quickly find out that GeGeGe no Kitarou also had a prototypical series known as Hakaba Kitarou. To start off, Hakaba Kitarou isnt solely a Shigeru Mizuki creation. It actually had its run from 1933 to 1395 as a kamishibai created by Masami Itou, who himself was adapting an old Japanese folktale...

#5 The Place Where Innovations Start, Cryptoedition -- by @the-alien with a current reward of 28 SBD

Many people compare blockchain technology to the printing press, and there are a lot of reasons for that. Revolutionary parallels aside, another element that both innovations share is their immense potential for widespread adoption should any major crisis take place. Let me give you an example. During the Great Depression, gold was the main exit strategy, not only did it protect those who held it against the national currency but it made actually made them richer. And the same was tr...

#6 European regulators send mixed messages on cryptocurrencies -- by @bloggersclub with a current reward of 28 SBD

Cryptocurrency trading in Europe will be coming under increased scrutiny following a recent report by Brusselsbased think tank Bruegel that recommended EU policymakers try to improve their understanding of the economic potential of blockchain technology. EU authorities have avoided comprehensive regulation because of the sectors relatively small size The report was written at the request of the Austrian Presidency of the Council of the EU for the informal Economic and Financial Affairs Co...

#7 Poultry Farming Business Dtube Part9 -- by @azizbd with a current reward of 19 SBD

a Dear Steemians, I am very happy to share the part 9 of our poultry farming business update on Dtube. Yesterday I recorded the video to share with you while working on the farm. Our chicks are now 15 days old and they will stay only 1318 days more. Later they will go to the market for sale. They are about 0.700 kilograms on average. 1 day ago, we changed their food habits from small feed to a bigger one. As they saw the size of feed is bigger than they habituated with, some of them ...

#9 Could Something As Innocent As This Really Offend People? -- by @ezzy with a current reward of 18 SBD

Bloody Coco Pops. Yeah, that chocolate flavoured toasted cereal snack is in the national media headlines today in the UK. And all because of one slogan that has apparently caused outrage across the country. What could this offending piece of horror possibility be, I dare ask? Coco Pops is so great, its been Approved by mums. Yep, thats it. It has the word mum in the sentence. Now, dont get me wrong. I understand that not everybody in this great nation has known what it is like to have bee...
