There are number of rants and complaints against bid-bots operating on Steem platform. These range from reward pool rape to hijacking of Trending page. Demands for altering the Trending Page algorithm are raised regularly.

So here is some relief. Anybody who wants to check organically trending posts on the Trending page i.e. trending posts if bid bots didn’t exist; just go here:

This is a brilliant tool developed by Hive account@firedream. Here you can see all top posts which didn’t make use of any bid bots. All bid bots listed on Steem Bot Tracker are taken into account while calculating the post value. You can also browse the trending posts according to a specific tag. In case, if you want to add any other bid bot or user account, whose upvotes you want to ignore, but it is not listed on Steem Bot Tracker; you can do that too.

On top left corner of the page you will find a button named “Add New Bot”. Clicking on this will take you to a new page where you can see all the available bots which were taken into account and an option to add new usernames for your customized trending page.

Hive account@firedream has also developed several other interesting tools like Steem Flag Analysis, Steem Stalker, Steem Cash Flow and Steem Bot Analysis. You can find all these tools are open sourced and listed at FDSteemTools. I’d recommend you to check those once.
