I believed that everyone knows Rusty, right? If you didn't, someone will come to your house tonight at exactly 12:00 am and will kil— just kidding. For those peeps who are not familiar with this fantastic guy, he/she is the Artificial Intelligence robot that has been working in this platform 24/7 just to give generous reward to the hardworking writers.
However, there are circumstances that Rusty won’t visit our articles. This makes us feel disappointed and frustrated because all of our time and effort was somehow put in vain and it can lead to demotivation if not handled properly.
Today I will share how I handle these situations and some of the possible reasons why Rusty keeps on ignoring you.
Whenever I published an article and Rusty didn’t visit it for days, I always think that he/she is just having a good time with @MarcDeMesel or somewhere else. Every time I think of that, it engages me to think in a positive way. I just imagine that he/she is just having a good time and taking a break from his exhausting job; maybe he/she enjoys playing golf, or even watching Netflix series. I mean, imagine that you need to read hundreds and thousands of articles every day and inspect if they are worthy and decide how much will you give to the writer, that’s pretty stressful and exhausting so it is just understandable to have a little vacation.
Personally, I have a recent article that is 5-6 minutes long and has decent analytics but Rusty is nowhere to be found. I’m still trying to figure out what is the reason but if he/she is just having a me-time then, I don’t have the right to antagonize that.
Aside from thinking that Rusty is on vacation, I also read the articles of the people I subscribed to here in read cash. In that way, I will be distracted from the reality that my crush doesn’t love me, jk. Reading the articles of other people gives me another perception and knowledge on how things work. It also gives me an idea or technics that I can use to improve my writings.
Nevertheless, what do you think is the reason(s) why Rusty doesn’t notice your existence? Based on different users on this platform, there are some possible explanations why this keeps on happening.
1. Your article is not well written.
Yes. If you’re planning to write an article about something, consider using some grammar corrector tool. I know the language barrier sucks but technology is improving every day and you can use it to your own advantage. For my part, I use Grammarly and google translate in improving my article. Filipino is my native language and English is just my second and to be honest, I spend hours just proofreading an article before publishing it; to provide a seamlessly reading experience to my readers.
2. You get that content somewhere else.
I encountered a user back then where his articles are all plagiarized. I am amazed at how he executes the lines but upon checking the ‘EXC’, there’s no mark. Meaning he is just copying and pasting his contents from the outside source. How fool I am for believing it was from him.
3. You just publish and then run.
Recently, I noticed this girl who is just publishing articles but doesn’t engage with other users. In my opinion, everything is a give-and-take relationship. If you don’t reach out to others, they won’t also reach out. If that’s the case, your analytics will suffer; you will experience a decrease in like and view counts. That may have an impact on how Rusty may think of your account.
4. You’re a spammer
If you’re a spammer, don’t ever wonder why you don’t receive something from Rusty. A spammer is a spammer periodt.

Conclusion:
We often feel discouraged when we received nothing from our efforts but if you truly love something, you will think and create a reason to keep you going. Just like me, instead of stopping, I thought of something that may help to divert the disappointment I felt. I think that’s how life works. Like Rusty, the world will not adjust for you. You’re the author of your own story and nothing will happen if you will throw your pen just because of one mistake.

Thank you for writing this article sir, yes you're right. If rusty doesn't visiting my works. I feel some disappointment, because I consume more or less than an hour to write those articles. I have 2 articles in my timeline but I think rusty didn't visit those articles. But you're right sir, we are the author of our own story and nothing will happen if we will throw our pen just because of one mistake.
