Hello!
As some of you may have heard, the monthly top ten pony videos series is migrating to
this channel.
For those already aware of what’s going on, go ahead and give the description a read
then leave your votes below.
For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, I should mention that this isn’t
just any top ten series.
Although it moved across a couple channels since its inception back in 2011, the person
probably most known for it is the one and only Jhaller.
Be sure to check out his video about all this if you haven’t already.
It’s actually quite an honor to be a part of this.
I’m sure I speak for a lot of people when I say that this top ten series has been a
major help in discovering great videos and awesome content creators.
This series was around before I even knew what a brony was so that gives you an idea
of how deeply embedded this is into the fandom's history.
I hope to continue the tradition and leave the same positive impact on others that it
left on me.
So, how this works is at the beginning of each month you guys vote in the comments for
5 to 10 of your favorite videos from the previous month.
After about a week, the videos with the most votes are featured.
It’s all pretty straightforward stuff but there are a few very important rules you should
be aware of.
Number one: Vote for at least 5 videos but no more than 10.
Number two: Use the exact title of the video.
This has to do with how votes are counted, so it’s very important.
Number three: The videos must have been uploaded during the last month, in this case, January.
Check the upload dates before voting please.
Number four: Only vote once.
You can change your vote, but it has to be done by editing the comment before the voting
period ends.
Number five: Any pony related videos here on YouTube are eligible.
You are encouraged to vote for videos you believe will stand the test of time and appeal
to people long into the future.
Number six: Only one video per artist can get a spot in the list per month, so if someone
uploaded multiple videos consider voting for the most popular or whatever one other people
are voting for.
And a new one, number seven: Any videos on my channel are disqualified.
I know since it’s voting, I could let people pick my videos and there wouldn’t be anything
wrong with that, but I prefer to give that attention to someone else.
Take a look at a website like Equestria Daily or pony subreddits for ideas.
Personally, I’ve found looking through my liked video history to be a good reminder
of potential votes.
I’m thinking about eventually moving the voting process to a Google form.
That would streamline the process, making it easier for me to get accurate results but
also make it simpler for you guys to participate.
On the flipside, voting has always been done in the comments so maybe such a big change
isn’t a good idea to spring on you guys.
What do you think?
You can vote in the on-screen YouTube card poll if you’d like.
If you plan to vote for the top videos of January, you’ll have to do so before February
8th 2017.
Which is probably past by now.
Normally a voting video like this will self-destruct after the voting period, but since this doubles
as an announcement video I’ll probably just leave it up.
Thanks for watching!
Stay tuned for the top ten videos of January, as well as the usual videos from me.
Thanks again to Jhaller for this opportunity.
See ya next time!
