๐ฌ Promoting WOX's Top Commenters
It's been 2 weeks again since we promoted WOX's Top Commenters - for me, it's felt like a very long 2 weeks and I hope that your Christmas preparations are progressing well. For me, the fun is in leaving everything until Christmas Eve.
With each post that I write on this subject, the bar is raised and it's great to see so many new authors joining the community and taking the time to interact with each other. This does mean that those who hold the "King/Queen Commenter" crowns will have to keep on top of their game to retain their crowns.
King / Queen Commenters
You can probably guess who 2 of the Queen Commenters are. Once again, they continue to chew the ears off those that will listen and once again, will retain their crowns of queen commenters and their 750 delegation.
๐๐ฌ Queen Commenter - @petface - 750 Delegation
๐๐ฌ Queen Commenter - @nithku - 750 Delegation
It was very close for the 3rd King/Queen commenter and the final 500 Steem Delegation. It is @serap who once again narrowly retains her crown for another fortnight.
Congratulations and once again, a big thank you for your contribution to this community.
Top Commenters
Joining our prestigious group of ๐ฌ top commenters, we have 2 authors who have been knocking on the door of this exclusive club a few times now.
@ibizaki doesn't post a lot but is an author that I know @stef1 is a fan of. It took 4 years for the great arrival to happen and it's great to see the interactions and wonderful story telling. Welcome @ibizaki.
Our other new joiner is @ronthroop - A professional artist who I've also heard sing a little too ๐ถ Although I've not seen the singing shared with us in World Of Xpilar yet ๐
We now have 6 Top Commenters and to keep this club as an exclusive one, I think I'll limit this group to a totally arbitrary 7. A term that (pre-Covid) English pub goers will know well, it'll be "one in one out" once we reach that number.
@ezuntimmy
@ibizaki
@o1eh
@ronthroop
@steem-venera
@to-tru
Once again, thank you to everybody who contributes to this community irrespective of whether I've mentioned you in this post.
This is an honor, thank you!
Iโll try to keep up. Poor @ibizaki . I think he might have a more difficult time of it. He lives in a pleasant winter clime, better to step out into and enjoy the now. I live in a cave. When the snow piles up around my cement rock walls, itโs either connect or disconnect, and the latter ainโt too pretty.
Here is a song I wrote last March near the melting-time of the giant, 5 month long snowball that is Oswego, USA.:
I really love your performance, I think this is something that would be popular too. I would love to resteem but unfortunately this is a comment.
This video reminded me another video that I wanted to share with you, this is my favourite song,@the-gorilla you may enjoy it too
Amazing!!!
Iโm knocking my knees against the desk.
Thanks for sharing:)
It put a smile on my face ๐
Do you remember or did you ever see a one-man-band? This is what the guitar/harmonica combination reminds me of. Just fun.
You are nominated for the Grammys!!! Yet another great performance of the one and only ยฟPoh?
What is your singers nickname?
And you are damn right about my commenting handicap, in winter it's so nice out in the sun. Today I spent the day up in the mountains in a t-shirt clearing the woods around old carob trees that have laid there abandoned for more than 70 years, ever since the tourism arrived in Ibiza and the country was abandoned. A pine tree takes like 30 years to mature, so in 70 years you have all these gigantic pine trees bullying the poor carob trees, ganging around them and taking their space away. We tryied to reestablish the old order!
As a little girl, my youngest daughter kept warm all winter on copious amounts of hot carob milk.
Your mountain work sounds like a good, healthy job in every way.
Letโs make my singerโs nickname โHogโโa mirror part of the painting brain is used when writing songs:)
Great job ๐
I'm so pleased that I mentioned your music now - I didn't expect this!
There will be more, to the chagrin of the Steemit community:)
Hi @ronthroop
I Liked your song
If you post a song / music video in WOX, you can also use our new tag #wox-music ๐
Okay, I will. To the detriment of earthly ears:)
Perfectly! It seems that when God endowed you with talents, He endowed you all at once.
I would only like that comment if it were true.
Thank you:)
I had to like it anyway. Praise is so rare, I had better be prepared to pay for it:)
The traditional Promoting WOX's Top Commenters is also very colorful in this part. Thanks a lot @the-gorilla ๐ค It's also great to see that the number of top commenters has increased and they are our dear friends from our community. Congratulations to all of you @petface @nithku @ezuntimmy @ibizaki @o1eh @ronthroop @steem-venera @to-tru ๐ผ๐
And @ronthroop, I liked your music, it has high energy just like your paintings ๐๐๐ป
It looks like we're having more fun. Sometimes I don't even have time to respond to all the comments and leave them the next day.
I totally agree that we have fun :)
I'm currently 2 days behind! ๐ฒ
Tambiรฉn para ti amiga @serap ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐ Felicidades y gracias โบ๏ธ
Cuรญdate mucho
Muchas gracias mi amiga ๐ค
Thank you! I have some low energy songs too, but theyโll probably put you to sleep:)
The music I listen to changes according to my mood. That's why slow music is also a part of my life :))
Of course! Me too.
Thank you ever so much @the-gorilla @leveuf @xpilar for creating this wonderful opportunity and keeping the initiative going for two months now. Time does fly indeed. It is truly awesome to not just be left to do what you love but even be encouraged and supported to keep doing it. I am also pleased to see new Steemians posting and commenting. The more, the merrier. I believe we, the top commenters, are a good example for both newcomers and members who kept this community going for the past few years now. I certainly do not take the crown for granted and I am honestly smiling widely on Thursdays and I do shout out that I am still the Queen when I see the fortnightly update on the top commenters. Well done to my friends who were previously part of our dream commenters team @serap @nithku @ezuntimmy @o1eh @steem-venera and @to-tru ๐ I am pleased to see @ronthroop, who I have already been interacting with and have been following for a while now, is part of the big five times two commenters. I am also glad to meet @ibizaki So game on and letโs see how we all do during these two festive weeks. Cheers all and have a nice evening.
HRH ๐ธ
There are more and more commentators, which means that people are getting interested in communicating. We are here like a good group of friends in a cafe :)
This has been the most pleasing thing for me. We started with a few comments (other than from moderators) and we found a couple of people - these people started commenting more and others followed and now we can see posts with 20 or more comments.
I donโt know what to do exactly to keep up, besides keep up. Cheers to you, and merry your celebrations!
๐ This sounds quite cool and it is actually deep when / if one starts to think about it. You are doing it already and this is the best about it. Being exactly whoever you are here on the platform in our community works just fine and it is the very opposite to real life where people tend to speak and act in a certain way having in mind the circumstances. Here the best you can do is show your real self, be different and stand out from the crowd. I still remember what @the-gorilla said in one of his posts before this initiative has even started. It was in brief that if you actually read a post, you already have some sort of opinion on it so why not share it here. As simple as that. Based on my experience worse comes to worst you will get no reply and thatโs about it really. So just keep doing what you are doing and I look forward to your next post ๐โโ๏ธEnjoy the weekend my friend.
Blogging is a new pastime. Iโve been posting my paintings and writing for years on Facebook and Instagram with very little feedback. A few likes and loves. I picture the fingers swiping up and looking at the work for less than two seconds, liking it (or not). Steemit has the potential to be truly social. Time is the only barrier. Taking thoughts to words isnโt for everyone. Still, I feel that there is more two-way appreciation here. โGood vibesโ as my youngest daughter says:)
I find this difficult - I've already deleted this comment a couple of times and could spend 20 minutes thinking about the best way to agree with you. This time though, I've decided just to type it and then post ๐
:)
There are certainly good vibes here ๐ Facebook and Instagram are in real the very opposite to being social really right now. They are definitely not the right place for you to post your art or for me to post my photography unless you care nothing about valuable feedback and you have all the time in the world. It is actually quite hard to meet like-minded people on social media as it is more about friends and friends of friends whatever that means any more. Social media is also the cheapest way to advertise online so we get to see all sorts of things in our newsfeeds and unwillingly become a part of somebodyโs marketing campaign. There are tons of content on social media too and it makes a difference when you are super famous which is unfair in the end of the day. Here is even a super real example too as I went to a London based Christmas market by the Thames and I posted about it but apparently David Beckham was there earlier the very same day. So guess who got more likes and whose photos regardless of the quality found their way into the news the next day ๐ค I am also good at ice skating, I have cool moves and I posted when I was at the ice rink by the National History Museum here in London but appeared David Beckham did the very same few hours ago. Then the following day you see articles about that online. So I just ask myself why on earth journalists copy and paste what a famous person posted on social media? Is this what journalism is nowadays? I hope not.
You might be surprised to know, that Iโve never heard of David Beckham. Well, now I have. I had to look him up. Not impressed:)
Youโre absolutely right about Facebook and Instagram. I am sending all this content through their platforms and getting advertised to. As a painter, I always hope to gain a toehold for success at selling some work.
Not a chance. Not anymore anyway.
However, 6 years ago, through Facebook, I โmetโ several painters who have enriched my life tenfold. Now that those friendships are nurtured, it is difficult to leave. There (and Instagram) is where I see their work and support them. I will try to bring them into Steemit. I tried before with a friend in Saint Petersburg. Attempting an explanation of the concept of blockchain rewards in translation, especially when I know so very little about it myself, well...
Not an easy sell. But Iโm a firm supporter, even if I havenโt cashed in penny in crypto or USD. The concept is Greek to me, at present.
Yes, the vibes are good here. Very good.
Oh, havenโt you ๐ฑ He owns Inter Miami football club so I thought you might have heard of him as somebody based in America.
It will be great if you can bring more artists to the platform and especially get some to join our WORLD OF XPILAR community.
It is definitely not the right time to cash Steem as the price is low. You need an account on Binance or similar where you have a crypto wallet. Some choose to invest in other cryptos in the top one hundred. Others cash into their bank accounts which can be a bit tricky depending on where you live. As you mentioned you have a friend in Saint Petersburg, assuming in Russia, they have different laws and restrictions there which make it much easier for them to cash Steem in their own currency. We here in England used to be able to do that but many were using this opportunity to purchase illegal goods so this is not possible any more. Now we need to go through another app e.g. SwissBorg to be able to transfer some GBP to a bank account. It is quite of a process but there are plenty of manuals online and please be aware of the taxes and charges so a withdraw makes sense in the end of the day. So you need to do some research and then have a serious think about what you really want to do with your crypto as the more you have here on the platform earns you more ๐โโ๏ธ
Thank you for sharing this information. I do need to spend some time reading up on exchange procedures. Supreme crypto ignorance has fed my already cautious behavior. So Iโll just continue to power up until Iโm an Orca.
I think I have a ways to go:)
I agree with you, my friend. It's great to see you in your magnificent crown again ๐ค
It is true we often see the same names and I am glad that we have such engaged team, only through talking to each other, the connection and friendship. I really enjoy this group of WOX active users. Thank you for bringing them together :)
You post is nominated for โWold of xpilarโ Community Support Program, @booming account upvote. Only the posts that are not cross posted, original and posted from community page are eligible. If your post gets approval, then you get upvote within few days. Good luck!
It's been so good to see so many become more interactive and now that we have a core of people doing it, I believe that others will naturally follow ๐
Gracias @the-gorilla for your interest and research. I didn't know about this initiative but it is very cool, and very kind to delegate to commentators! Good job.
You're welcome - it's often when people don't know that the initiative exists that their natural "talkativeness" comes through ๐
What I like best about this post he does without tag club50/50/75/100 is ๐โ๏ธ
Sorry i like your Pรถst too !
VgA
My behaviour's my behaviour with or without the tag. I've always powered up and will probably continue to do so. I don't need to write a post about something like that or advertise that's what I do. I understand the steem team's intentions by creating the tag but it reminded me of a saying I heard about investing in employees:
This is more about behaviour than money.
Hurraaaaa ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐๐
Felicidades a los nuevos comentaristas, que emocionante estamos creciendo!!!
A mi se me paso muy rรกpido el tiempo, solo se me hace desconocido uno ๐ค debo actualizarme.
Saludos a todos, que esten muy bien y abriguense que hace frรญo!!!
PD: Amigo @ronthroop, tambiรฉn cantas!!! ๐ฏ WOW ๐๐ป๐๐ป
Tambiรฉn me gustรณ la canciรณn de @stef1 ๐
Ha! Thank you. I feel, so I sing. However, it should remain in the basement until the elective surgery on my vocal chords:)
Jajaja yo canto por diversiรณn y me mandan a callar ๐ pero igual sigo cantando ๐
ยกExactamente!
Hello friend @the-gorilla I greet you and the entire WOX community, it is a pleasure to be in a team like this. Itโs nice to see that we have a lot of talented and fun people with whom fun is guaranteed.
I am very glad that @ibizaki and @ronthroop have joined our team.
I salute our queens and the rest of the team. ๐๐๐
Thank you for the kind greeting!
Just look at what you did with your contest. Few comments? Take a look at what is being done under this post: comment, discuss and even sing!
