oh! I am so sorry. Well, Rusty is fiesty and very active. He is a bot and operates on logarithym or the logic as programmed so he will be naturally be inclined to tips articles that meets all the criteria set in his program. Unless you are familiar with program designs/logic then you will really know how to capture his interest. If you are like me a naivete in all these, then you have to gauge and observe how he reacts in articles that attracts him. What I noticed is that he is more inclined to current events especially the ones with figures/statistics. As he is a bot, daily activity is almost a surplus because everybody seems to be writing about it. He has collected and stored perhaps a humugous amount of information regarding this thats why it getting a bit difficult writing about daily life that be catchy to him, for him to make a tip. This is also the basis of my earlier note that "I gauge my writing development based on his presence". My writing style has met his minimum requirement but if he does evolve more, i really have to get serious with my writing if i aim to earn. Just my thoughts.

The interesting thing is that he suddenly stopped paying for the kind of articles he normally pays for. Your assessment of the articles he paid for is interesting. This can be tried. Thanks...

oh yes! Never give up... Try something different. Rusty records everything, if he thinks the article "sounds the same" or "repetitive" as the other article you've written, he either tips less or not tip at all. Try business or out of the ordinary you usually write. If still about daily, try a different approach. I dont think bots can read in between lines as to express emotions, thoughts and feelings. Its main programme really is narrative. It doesn't have conciousness that can understand ego, feelings,. Im not even sure it can understand irony if not stated, arguments can but writing that involves a lot of complicated logic is something be avoided... Researched articles with reason and purpose, then presentation.
