Cold weather, causes freezing points?
Good morning, don't mind the title again,😅. Just got it from a friend @Djgeloremix . I just came from our parents-teachers meeting in school for an orientation of my childs modular schooling. Upon arriving home, i checked my read.cash account and i noticed that my points stayed 0.0. I was even very active yesterday and retired at night. I just came online this morning to check my points. This will be my first time writing about my points. I don't have issues about it. May it be low or high because i find read.Cash a place where i can share my thoughts freely and improve my little writing skills without minding my points at all. I don't even check my points from time to time, only in the morning before the resetting time. But yesterday after the resetting of our points., i was stucked to 0.0 points until this very moment. I was not moved by it thinking that it would be back to normal soon. But i noticed a new feature yesterday as i read a lot of comments and posts about freezing of points even from good writers, i was a bit perplexed. I noticed the book sign in our articles which i learned from @Z_graeden that it was a new feature of read.cash. It was the estimated reading time of an article posted. Meaning, it indicates if your article is whether short or long by the time shown in the users homepage or profile. I know that read.Cash is looking for improvements and finding ways to make this community a healthy one to stay.
In my opinion, is it really neccessary? Read.Cash has a major problem of freezing points and lots of complains from good writers about this issue. If this new feature was put without this freezing points issue and it helps the users to gain more points or tracks someones activity in reading, i will have no problem about it. But...
Let me explain the scenario in my mind. If it does have a tracking time it would be unfair to some users who reads fast and finnishes the article before the estimated time and drops a comment afterward. The author might think that the user/reader only scanned their article and didn't read it completely when in fact they did. (well it is just an imagination)
For lazy readers, they prefer to choose short articles no matter how good the articles are. So with the new feature that shows the estimated time, you can know if the article is either short or long. The impact would not be good. Long articles are mostly quality ones. If they will be disregarded and overlooked, they will gain less viewers and readers.
If theres something that readcash would improve, its about the points of our users to have a fair one. If this new feature helps to have a healthy community its a thumbs up from me. Everything i said is just a product of my thoughts..don't make me wrong,maybe there are some other things that can be added. I hope someone will give me a positive feedback whether i would favor this new feature or not.
you are right, but I have not noticed the book icon yet, where can I find it sometimes, it might not be freezing points but maybe just a slow increase in points...but for me it is not necessary, but I know read cash is trying to make this platform better, so let us just hope for something better
