RE: The 201 most prolific commentators on the Steem Blockchain (2018)
Woo hoo! I'm excited to be on this list and happy to say that every single one of my comments was done by hand.
Shortly after arriving here I saw that I would get more response from commenting on others posts than by posting my own, although I've been doing that too.
It's pretty sad to see so many bots in that list but I've just come out of a Steemit funk so I'm not going to dwell on it and go back there again.
This has made my day and validated what I have been doing here (along with all the great conversations I've been having and fun and interesting people I've met) since joining last December.
At the end of last week I was seriously questioning if I wanted to continue here and made my first dtube video and talked about why I was feeling so discouraged.
As always, some lovely followers came out in support which helped.
I took a step back for a few days to reassess why I'm here and then had a long conversation this morning with @rimicane who explained about buying delegation to me. That lifted a load off my shoulders because I was able to see that it was't something I wanted to that's one less thing to consider.
Anyway . . . my point is it's the conversations and connections that have kept me going and to see that I'm in the top 201 is a brilliant boost at a time when it it sorely needed.
So . . . thank you so much for compiling this list. I'm going to have a glass (or 2) of wine to celebrate. Yay me!!!!! 😁
Congratulations, @gillianpearce! You really deserve this. :)
Thank you @glenalbrethsen. 😊
way to @gillianpearce, your hard work is paying off ;D <3
It is indeed @mountainjewel. Thank you! 💙
Hi @gillianpearce
Steemit is tough going at times, much effort for little reward but as you say:
Thank you for sticking with it and engaging like you do!
Give this woman an upvote!
Thanks @abh12345. I really need to change that black background. I've tried a couple of times without success,😁
Way to go @gillianpearce! I'd say this couldn't have come at a better time for you, and I hope it validates some of your questions you've been having lately :)
You are very right @lynncoyle1. I was already beginning to feel better after taking a step back over the weekend and then having a long real chat yesterday morning with @rimicane. She helped me understand about delegations better so I was able to make an informed decision on that.
Then this turned up this evening. I also noticed that I'm in @abh12345's curation list. I have no idea how I managed that as I still don't understand curation at all so it's definitely more luck than judgement.
I just took another look and I see you won one of the prizes. Well done @lynncoyle1 💙 You obviously get curation better than me.
However, I also noticed that @adh12345 has a bit of a tips list at the top of the post, so If I've got a bit of time this week I might study that and see what I can apply. It might make add to the fun which, as we've said, is what I need at the moment.
Thanks, as always for your support! 😍
I think this list re: curation is simply about the tremendous amount of commenting that you do; that's the kind of list I was on as well...which I think is awesome, because to me, this is all about engagement in your community. The first list (on the post where you saw my name), is about making money with commenting/curation. That's the part I don't usually focus on. But @abh12345's tips are really simple to implement, such as upvoting a post in the first 30 minutes (also a part of curation) can increase your payout from a post. Take the time to check them out though; like I said, they're really easy to implement and it could make a huge difference for you!
Thanks for noticing my name there as well; I appreciate it! You are welcome for the support too...that's what this is all about...people helping people!
Cheers :)
Thanks @lynncoyle1. I started looking at the tips last night but it was a bit late. Hopefully will find time to look at it today. I thought it was better to upvote a post at or after 30 minutes. There's seems to be so much conflicting information around. Also, it seems to depend on how big the poster is and my own VP. When I've looked at it in the past I just ended getting myself tied up in knots. no doubt I'll get it in the end or at least a version of it that works for me! 😁
I'm glad you found his tips worked for you. That means there's more hope for me! 😊
He we can fumble through all of this together and keep telling each other what an awesome job we're doing :)
Well that's easy because I truly do believe you're doing a great job, given what else you're dealing with at the moment! 💙
Thank you so much @gillianpearce; that's sweet of you to say!
