I have a question about the 500 word article

@MKFAWKES 15 June 2020

I've been using this site for a few days and I've noticed that most articles are not 500 words long. Why is this? If the article is not 500 words long is it considered to be a short post worth 5 points? I'm wondering if people prefer to write the short posts and get the 5 points instead of the 500 word articles. Anyone have knowledge or thoughts about this? If it is more valuable to write the short posts how many words does a short post have to be to be considered an article? Thank you for any comments or advice in advance.

YES, if you only post article with less than 500 characters, you will only get 5 points. That depends on the person's choice, maybe they prefer to publish a lot of short post worth 5 points

  Do you get 5 points for every community that accepts your article too?

    Just like full articles, you'll only get 5 points from first community that'll accept your submission.

      Thanks for clarifying that up - I feel like I'm getting a lot more points then that (not complaining) but how am I getting so many points? I'm definitely getting more than 5-20 points per article I submit...

Note that the limtit is 500 characters, not 500 words, as you write. 500 characters is not much.

  Thank you so much! That makes a huge difference this entire time I thought it was 500 words!

It is not 500 words, it is 500 characters (as far as I remember.) Then 60+ characters are 4 points if get approved. Much better to read the point system published by Rrad.Cash.

I just read that the limit is 500 character not words.
