The two faces of read.cash and why isn't good for BCH marketing promotion.

My journey in the read.cash blog platform have been amazing and my contribution also a growing one on the website, I have been doing this for 8 months now and during this time things have changed a lot, with the dev team (one man show) doing a marvelous work behind this growing ship, and managed to find an incentive to reward users who contribute most to the site, the read.cash fund (with have the biggest donation by Marc De Mesel with more than $200,000 worth in BCH) and this markable fund have been doing a lot for users.

I believe that the purpose the read. cash platform is to incentive the usage of BCH in the world and is quite reaching that, with plenty accounts being created, with more than 22,000=number of active BCH wallets too, as read.cash is a decentralized wallet, of course not all are active but I have to congratulate the man who brought this idea down read.cash is a great BCH promoter.

But not everything are roses...

Since the inception and conception of the platform, articles about BCH are the ones who got the most Upvotes on them, which is good and shows the interaction on the website relatively to the topic also Posts got a different exposure, but there are things that I have noted with most of BCH articles:

  • They are basically technical and are related to infrastructure

  • The articles who got the best Upvotes on BCH community are old successful members of the BCH Community (at some point doesn't make a bit sense to give them this incentives, they already have BCH on their wallets and are well successful people on BCH community)...

  • It's like putting money on a pot which already is full, and this people won't do any marketing campaign to spread the world neither about BCH or the platform read.cash

They play important role in BCH community which is great and sustain the ecosystem but those amounts in Upvotes received by them normally could be split in many and distribute to many, who actually spread the word about BCH, promote the brand and bring more people to read.cash which is the house of all BCH community, does why I believe this is a bad move concerning the marketing for the BCH.

The other face of read.cash is that one who actually live from the daily fund, and are the ones who, for those pennies work hard, spreading the word about read.cash=spread the word about BCH, are significant part of diffusion of the platform and the project, create and contribute with articles (awesome and very quality ones, of course there are bad ones but majority of the articles at least for elder members are extremely good), but despite all that the hability to get Upvotes is near zero.

This side of read.cash work to get exposure about BCH and people like me who have almost 2,000 fans in different Communist platforms (Publish0x, Uptrennd, Hive...) use this influence to spread the word about BCH and bring more users to get known about this marvelous website.

The Bitcoin Cash enthusiasts who upvote most those technical, infrastructure topic articles must also check the site where other topics are discussed and remember that each part depends from each one to prevail and spread the word about BCH wordwide...

Take this in consideration!

Have a great Sunday read.cashiers.

And that is what is wrong! I believe that many authors here have great potential and could promote BCH in large scale and deserve some spot, for me doesn't make sense to keep upvote post from people who are notorious and prominent figures on the community when that amount could be split with more and let's them promote BCH in other places because they are highly rewarded.

Such a nice point of view mate! Considering the trend in RC, I agree with you as the posts related to BCH and BCH ABC team attract more attention than the others. However, can we say that it is all about the choice of people?

I dont think the downside is that much. Had the discussion with Read.Cash on Reddit and yes some people do it JUST for the money. They are spamming the platform, it is true but still they are using BCH and that counts toward adoption. Now I do think the spammers should be kept to a minimum on the platform. But its almost impossible to get rid of them completely. And the incentive of free money represent a lot to them.

I agree in that spammers are the big issue on the platform bug not all are spamming and even with that aren't being noticed why?! Because their job isn't talking about BCH?! I believe that is wrong and there are authors here who have a lot of potential but don't get noticed even if you decide to adventure in that area of expertise I doubt that you will have that exposure there, so I believe we are being put on side because of spammers and we are paying a big price!

My friend you did have a valid point here, it's clear that the read.cash platform is made up of two groups viz the Bitcoin cash group and the rest of us group. Like you said only Bitcoin cash article written by these by the Bitcoin cash technocrats get the exposure and upvote. Most times, even if your article on bitcoin cash is good you still don't get any exposure nor upvote in the Bitcoin cash community. Only article about infrastructures as you said get the exposure and upvote. I feel very sad after putting much effort to do a thorough research on Bitcoin cash issue only to publish it and it will not even be approved into the Bitcoin cash community.

Unfortunately I have to admit that my friend you can hustle in order to get that exposure but you won't its like they are doing upvote for upvote using their wealthy to show us that we aren't a significant part of the community😁😁😁

You are right, I tried hard to push myself into that Community by studying all the technicality and terminology involved in Bitcoin cash, yet no one look on my article for any consideration. I felt like a worm among them, even when you mentioned some of them or use their reference in your article, they don't even care as long as you are not in their class. Anyway, let leave them with their money. It saddens me to how things are going on in the Bitcoin cash community that I felt they are being races here

The thing isn't all about money, not at all as money comes with people hard work okay, it's more that we Ade fighting to a world of decentralized finances which anyone can have some BCH and in order to mass adopt it and show to the world and I see no point in given more to those guys who already have it! Imagine upvoting a post let's suppose $1000 worth in BCH to a person like Roger Ver for example what a heck... The man already have enought BCH, that amount could be split within many more people!

Actually this is a good article emphasizing on all the consent of the people who know not that much about BCH and tend to write about other topics.

Although the site was not made basically to write about BCH but one thing is that, it pays in BCH making BCH the centre of writing. Those who give out more are those who already have more BCH and with that, they give out to articles that like or find it interesting.

I can say they barely read other articles that are not about BCH causing them not to upvote those ones.

That is basically why it happens like that. Some of them have it but they still get more and some of us don't have and are trying all we can but we can't still get it because our choice of writing is not the content they want to read.

We keep quiet and depend on the fund ..

Why is the purpose to give someone who already have money more money?! Doesn't make sense, this guys already had wealth and won't hustle themselves to promote BCH, the ones who will do that are the biggest part of the platform and we want to get more wallets of BCH?!

I agree with you perfectly but there is nothing we can do about this. The money is theirs and they give it out to those they want to give it out to .

The problem isn't the money never was, they have that right as you said it their money, but let's see this as way to promote BCH in the world, do you see Roger Ver needing more BCH or what he need is mass adoption (to his funds to get more value), that would be hypocrisy if that amount still on the "whales" hands when they could use it to spread more awareness to BCH...

Now this is a very interesting topic. As a Marketing Management student myself, there will always be a downside and good side of this platform to the Bitcoincash and its community. I think upvoting those articles related to the coin itself is good so that those articles will be displayed on the Home page of the users. That way, users will be informed about the technicalities related to the coin. But as one of the users who are actually here to make a penny through publishing quality articles, we hope the same thing. But I think these writers who get upvoted articles are also upvoting quality articles as well.

I just joined read.cash yesterday, and the culture here is interesting to say the least.

The incentive for users to comment to gain points is the perfect way to enable spammers to proliferate. Sadly, something that should be used for good will be taken advantage of by others who see it as a quick way to profit.

Another interesting observation of mine is the strategy that some members employ where it seems they need to be "bribed" to upvote/subscribe, etc. your content. I find this to be distasteful to be honest, but it seems to be very prevalent in the few discussions that I have looked at. That's the "hustle" that @alberdioni8406 talks about most likely.

It would be refreshing for me to be part of a nice "no strings attached" group, but the culture on this platform doesn't seem to support this type of nurturing environment at the moment.

I think there are still communities who have this "no strings attached" kind of bond. You just need to look for it. Just like what I said, most of the users are actually here to make a penny, that is why they do everything to get points, and I must admit I am also those users who try to join every contest that gives prizes as a reward for a good article or comment. That is how the writer get to earn points from the articles they publish. I have been here for a week and we have observed all the same thing. But as a user who also wants to learn and be inspired in this platform, I exert effort to find a community that actually just support the writers, without asking anything in return. I think the kind of environment you will get here still depends on you.

Its not about quality articles, I believe that there are excellent articles who deserve also to get noted on the platform but dont and that sucks, and more thing increase the number of plagiarism as people noting that only BCH articles get relative high exposure will copy paste articles here which is bad!

That is true tho. Most of the users on this site are really just after making the money. That is why people tend to do those things in order to make a penny. I just hope the site will be able to come up with a solution not to allow copy pasted articles on this site. Because it gives a bad impression not just to the site but to the community of bch as well.

Spammers are big problem on the platform and somehow putting big authors on bad shape in the website, but that disparity between non BCH articles with BCH is huge and nothing justify that, even this spammers despite "stealing" some BCH from tf site their participation on adoption of BCH is notable, but they doing it wrongly😁

That's true. Haha That is why users who are inviting people to join this platform should be educated about the dos and don's on this site. Or even if they are informed about it, if their main reason of being on this site is to earn money, then I guess it can't be helped.
