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 Bronze Bell in Yong Ju Sa Temple, Korea -- by @slowwalker with a current reward of 38 SBD

There was a bronze bell in Yong Ju Sa temple. Interesting thing was the bronze bell seemed to be made in Goryeo dynasty more than 900 years ago to the Yong Ju Sa temple which was built in Choson dynasty. Actually the record on the surface of the bell indicated this bell was made in Shilla dynasty which had been existed before Goryeo dynasty. But scholars thought this bell was made in Goryeo dynasty in the consideration of the bell making style. It was the first time for me to see the bron...

#4 Snow Storms to Pia Coladas My Last 24 Hours of Travel -- by @coruscate with a current reward of 21 SBD

a Hi Friends! Its been a long stretch of travel but Im happy to say that Im posting this from warm and sunny Mexico! In this vlog I talk about how I almost didnt make it out of Seattle and sat on the tarmac for hours in the middle of the night while they tried to deice the plane and then how the resort here in Acapulco tried to charge us an extra 1100 USD that took some serious negotiating to get out of. Still not very impressed with this resort... but heck its warm and Im steps from...

#5 Pork Leg on Rice Khao Ka Moo sounds crazy, but it is awesome -- by @gooddream with a current reward of 20 SBD

I know the first time that a friend of mine told me that we were going to their favorite stewed pork leg restaurant my reaction was you have a favorite pork leg restaurant? I guess it just never occurred to me that anyone would eat that, let alone look forward to it. This was many years ago when I was still a recent international traveler and had never really experienced food options outside of USA supermarkets. I am relatively certain that for the most part they dont even sell that the...

#6 Hatch Green Chile Why You Should Be Eating This -- by @pinkspectre with a current reward of 19 SBD

Ive written about this tasty, fiery pepper before, and if you want to know the basics of the Hatch Chile Pepper, read this article here. altGreen Chili source If youve ever traveled through the American Southwest, then you know that we put this pepper on everything.

But the phytonutrient capsaicin is what makes green chile peppers spicy, deli...

#7 Injured on the 2nd day of ninja school -- by @gooddream with a current reward of 19 SBD

I mentioned yesterday that I was very excited to be doing something strange by going to this handtohand combat school under the guidance of a true master with an excellent resume and history in the art. Today I arrived very early for my class out of enthusiasm for the second day of training. Today we used weapons source This particular weapon is called as escrima stick, but ours were actually made of PVC rather than wood. The idea behind becoming proficient with this weapon is that...

#8 Demotivational posters are so much fun -- by @gooddream with a current reward of 19 SBD

Years ago when I owned a hostel, I decided that I wasnt going to do the usual thing and simply put Thai handicrafts on the walls. Instead I installed a bunch of things that cheer me up in the hopes that it would brighten the day of our patrons. It worked because who doesnt like to laugh? One of my favorite things to put up were demotivational posters. Here is a collection of some of my favorite ones. i tried to use as many ones that focuses on particular nationalities but never anyt...

#9 Saturday Sunset -- by @pinkspectre with a current reward of 19 SBD

Tonights sunset was magnificent, its such a pity cameras rarely do sunsets justice. I guess thats one of the reasons they are so wonderful, you only have a short amount of time to enjoy them before they are gone forever. No two seconds are the same in such a brief, spectacular show. One of the best parts about watching the sunset in Albuquerque, New Mexico is the way the sunset reflects off the mountains and gives them a pink glow. Giving them their name, Sandia, which means watermel...

#10 Van Meter Monster North American Folklore -- by @pinkspectre with a current reward of 18 SBD

In October of 1903 the small midwestern town of Van Meter, Iowa was plagued by visits from a strange and frightening creature. The beast was described as part human, part reptilian, and most notably, this monster was said to have large, batlike wings. Another notable feature of the Van Meter Monster is the beam of light that shined from his forehead. The Visitor, as townsfolk referred to him as, was said to be about 8 feet tall. It was said the Van Meter Monster left behind a hideous odor ...
