Trending giveaway mechanism

Avatar for Jdine

I noticed a new trending method that users do to give back some love to people who share their posts. I participated in some of them, actually. You share their links and they reward you in return. I have no problem with that. I am even thankful for their rewards. But, uhh yeah there's a but... But a question suddenly popped in my mind. If we share their link and we comment in their post, will the post be noted as an engaging post? I mean, random rewards sometimes depend on your posts if they're engaging or not, am I right? That's why you have to have original, interesting content. So if in that way (sharing because of the reward) you're marked by the random rewards as an engaging writer, it gives you more chance for the random rewards. I'm just thinking, isn't this a spam as well? (this is for the shared link that just wants to have many shares and comments and has no "actual content" in it)I mean, some of them just want to us to share a link that has no "actual content". When I say "no actual content" I mean to say, the content of the post is not informative or whatnot. I'm not saying all people who want us to support them are bad. I'm not saying that every user that asks us to share their links are bad. If you get my point. And I participated in some of them because of the reward. And the majority will participate in those kinds of posts because of the reward. And I'm thinking, isn't it a bit unfair for people who take their time to create a more significant content and have less chance in random rewards because they begin to be less engaging than those new tactics? I don't mean to offend anybody, okay? And this also doesn't go with people who are asking us to share their links with good content. I don't hate them. As I've said, I've also participated and got rewarded. And I was in the point to do the same thing when this question came to my mind. And If it's considered spam, I wouldn't wanna risk my account. I love my account but I also want to share. So maybe I'll just think of another way. I'm just curious if the method (sharing links with no content to have rewards) is still valid. I mean would not it be recognized as spam? Because I remember, one factor that the pointing system is updated is because people started to post insignificant articles and people are starting to spam the platform by commenting on unrelated replies. Well, I must say, the comments are related to the post. But is the post not considered as spam? I'm just curious. I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings. I am grateful for their tips. I'm just worried that if this continues to happen, there will be consequences.

Again, this is not against the people who ask to share their links with good contents. But I think people need to support writers, not because of the reward but because they believe in that writer's ability and that they really like the articles posted. I may sound rude here, forgive me. I just don't want to see the platform lose the essence in supporting good articles. Even I was moved.

The bottom line maybe is, I want to ask if it's okay to do it (ask to share your link even though it has no real content in return for a tip). Is it considered as spam or an advertisement? So I know if I can do it too without any guilt.

I was hesitant to post this at first. I was worried many people will raise their eyebrows. But I still want to know and I want to be sure I will be doing the right thing.

Much love

You got it. I don't like the tactics too. Actually, it's fine that they think a new way to interact with the audience and also help the writers to be active. But at some point, they just want to have new subscribers... Add their "fans". I think it's just their benefits, not really for us.

If I'm not mistaken, random rewards base on the numbers of subscribers, the engagement of your readers, the upvotes and the quality of your content. So if you do that, you gather almost all the bases. You will have more subscribers that will be notified with your new posts, new views, new engagement. I just thought that we should not forget that should subscribe to people we really ike nit just because we were asked to in return for reward.

Exactly. Well it's up to each and every one of us. It's up to you if you will subscribe to that person just because of the reward, or subscribe because you love how he write. For me, it's the second one. I'm not subscribing easily. And I'm happy 'coz I just receive notifications of the writer that I want to follow.

enjoying the platform? we should not be just enjoying the platform. We should also do our part to maintain it's credibility for it's future. If the quality of the platform is fading, it's credibility will fade. Then no one will pledge because of it's low quality. We need to look through the possibilities in the future. If we are enjoying the platform and loving it, might as well have the mean to maintain and care for it.

No offense also (since I'm also guilty of trying) but i do think this ushered in a new wave of spam posts. And it's like we're back to two-three weeks ago. It's nice to get rewards, sure but then if you write quality content, you'd earn more too

In another platform I joined before, it was considered as gaming the system. However, I don't know how read.cash management will look at this. For me, I'll only share links even inside my article if the article of another person is worth reading. We call that link building (white hat) to rank in Google search.

True! I hope that's what we all do.

It will not affect rank in Google search, all links given in read.cash are strictly "no follow". For good reasons. However, if you find an article worth recommending to your own readers, why not give the link for that reason only?

That's right. But if the article you want people to recommend in return is not that worthy in exchange for rewards, people will still recommend it. I did too haha. But if we think deeply it might affect the credibility of the website. It's better if we at least let people recommend good articles instead in exchange for rewards.

I didn't participate, to me it seems they're buying your subscription. I already subscribe them because they are good writers but this method they used is not that wise, sorry to say but it is something related to spamming in different ways.. people should subscribe you because they find you a good influencer, motivator and have something to learn from not because you promised them something in return.

I understand that but should we take for granted about the quality of articles? I mean if we all do the same, then there's a possibility that the front page will only cater those kinds of post and not articles that have some sense. It's ok I guess if you wanna advertise your work but if the link they want us to share for some reward has no content in it, then Readcash will become a platform not meant for writing articles and reading significant contents then.. We can advertise ourselves but a; ;east make it something with sense. At least use a link that has a good content in it, right? We are here to earn and Read/Write good contents as well. Let's not forget that. Let's make it a worthy investment for people who invests in the platform. Make it more worthy for yourself. It's not just about earning. Not unless your main purpose is just to earn.

Did I say just post that kind of stuff? Did you really get my point? My point is don't make people do what you do, They are new, Those kind of stuff are good and bad why? GOOD: People will interact with it and have some rewards by doing things BAD: if more people will do this the platform will be doomed with this kind of trash post.

Don't just focus on bad things Don't say to people some words that will encourage them to don't join any challenge/task for the sake of reward just say it to those people who make it.

If they do that just to make them popular then that is their rights their tactics, their technics, lets just ask @read.cash if that post is allowed.

JUST TO ADD

on the contrary of what you accuse me, I don't discourage people here Mr. @GulaManYOW , I encourage them to write good quality articles instead when they ask others to share their link and/ or sponsor people if they badly want an advertisement. I never discourage users here at Readcash, Mister.

No, you don;t get my point. What my article points out to encouraging people to share your link that has no content. What are you saying I'm saying things to discourage people to join contest?? Do you really think I discourage people???

I don't think you get my point here. Read these articles so you know what I'm trying to say. It has the same point of view. These might help you understand my perspective. https://read.cash/c/readcash-f4d8/post-6ed01e8d https://read.cash/@Fexonice1/buying-subscribers-at-readcash-good-or-bad-9db8f24d

ALSO, I don't focus on the bad side. As I've said I was also tempted and was thinking about doing it too when the consequence hit my mind. I know everyone has righs. Did I ever suppress anyone to anything? I was just stating my opinion about the tactics.

AND if you read and understood my article correctly, you will realize that I am also asking if it's okay to do it.

Bottomline is you don't get my point in this article.

Facebook isn't a crypto=blogging site as well as twitter. We don't have problems with people who advertise themselves. The point is, Make it alteast something that the investors will be impressed with. Let's not put their money into waste. Cause they will go if they find the platform's quality isn't good. Ask yourself, if you see bunch of posts with no good content in it, would you still want to invest in that platform? would you still want to donate funds? no. You wouldn't. I wouldn't. And if you badly need an advertisement, be a sponsor. That's what's thepurpose of it, right? Why not be a sponsor paying $0.01 to people so you will be in their profile for the whole month?
