“I'm a spammer but I realized that once a spammer, NOT always a spammer.”
This would be a big move for me as a writer on readcash because I will spill the dark side of my past as a readcash user. Actually I have doubts on writing this because I'm afraid of what will happen on the next day. “What if my comments will be on spam after writing this?” “What if Rusty won't visit me after this?”, but then I decided to reminisce the past and share what I have learned on my experiences as a spammer to make the spammers realize that they still have a time to change themselves. This is a long story so it will have a part two.
Let's take a look at my past, I mean my past articles. First, I'm not going to share my past username except this one (@Laurenceuuuu ) yes, I had an account named Laurenceuuuu but it has 4 U's. To be honest I had three accounts before and all of them are banned. This account, my current account is the 4th one.
Why I am banned on my accounts before?
Let's use @LW as a nickname for my first account. As what I've mentioned on my previous articles, writing is not my forte and I am having a hard time to write, I don't have a vast knowledge when it comes to writing that's why I decided to plagiarize articles from the internet.
Before, the only way to earn is to earn points also known as point system where you will earn points when you are active on the platform and those points will be converted on the next day into Bitcoin cash. When this platform was still on that system, it's hard to earn compared to this current system. I only earned cents every day and sometimes nothing because I thought I will earn if I published an article. I have this publish and run scheme before where I only publish a plagiarized article then leave the platform.
I'm not active before because I don't have an internet and my earnings wasn't enough to buy an internet weekly so I'm not active.
Things became worse on the next days and I didn't receive any points and I chose to give up and leave the platform even though my friend said that I only need to wait but of course as a spammer, I chose to leave. I forgot the username of my friend, I met him here but I think he's not active now anymore. If I'm not mistaken his name is Fami.
When I created my first account, I also create a group chat on my Facebook account where I invited random people to join here but my intention that time is to get the referral.
You know OfficialGamboaLikeUs? She's my invite. I met her online because she's also looking for an extra income so I invited her here. She is my most active invite and I even told her that copying the article is okay (before). We didn't earn points on the next days so we leave the platform.
After two weeks, OfficialGamboaLikeUs messaged us on our group chat saying that she tried to publish an article and she earned a decent tip from Rusty. Yes, this time, Rusty was born.
As a spammer, I still chose to copy some articles but this time, I had an idea where I am editing random words using another platform. The paraphrasing tool where some words will automatically get the synonyms and replace some words so it will not look like plagiarized. Guess what happened? It worked! I received an upvote from Rusty but it was still cents, I'm lucky that time if I received $1 on an article.
As the time goes by, Rusty was upgrading himself and became stricter. One day, he gave me a notification saying that he detected my article was plagiarized and it was my STRIKE#1. He gave me a warning but things became worst, even my old plagiarized articles was detected by him, even two weeks ago so my STRIKE became STRIKE#3 and that was the end of my first account. I got permanently banned.
When I got banned, I created my second account and let's call it as @LS.
On my second account, I'm still publish and run scheme and my only goal is to earn but there's a bit of change, I started to have a little conversation on different users, I will mention them on the part two.
This time, I realized the real purpose of the platform. I enjoyed having a conversation with different authors and I'm also publishing my own articles. I learned that plagiarizing is not the best choice so I made an effort to write my own.
Even though I'm writing my own article, I didn't receive an upvote from Rusty for the first week. I think I only stayed 1 ½ week on that account because I didn't receive any tips from Rusty that time so I decided to create a new account and Laurenceuuu was born (my current account)
The @Laurenceuuuu account (the 4 u's) was also banned because it says that I am using the same IP address with my first account. Well, it was actually my second account, I created that account when it was still on point system. The purpose of that account is to earn more points because I'm thinking that time that I will earn more if I use two accounts but the truth is not. I also used it to like my article of my first account, I'm so stupid that time and I am annoyed to myself so forgive me.
After a few days, they detected that I am using the same IP address and they said that I am liking or subscribing myself and got banned. They were definitely intelligent and smart!
It was my story and experience, this will have a Part two and its title will be “Once a spammer, NOT always a spammer: What I have learned?” In this article I will share my experience and opinions on how can we surpass on being spammer and how I surpassed it.
PS: I'm afraid on what will happen on the next days, maybe I'm on the spam once the admins read this. Well, my intention is to give an awareness and how can we change ourselves as spammer that I will discuss on the next article. This is just a background so you can easily understand the next part. I hope that my gut feeling is wrong.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
If I chose to be a good writer from the very start, maybe I am more than 6 months from now, maybe my journey in readcash is having a good ride. Spamming is not the best choice, there's a lot of things to do instead of spamming. Bad deeds will never win, karma will come.
Ayown. At least you've learned your lesson and have become a better writer because of what happened. Lalo nitong nakaraan lang may issue na naman abt plagiarism aysus haha.
