Looks like the spam filter algorithm is working!

Correct. What you read is your preference of course but I guess what I meant to say was that so many articles were just junk to make a quick buck initially.

Yeah ;;-;; definitely junk that didn't even make sense of had any relevance to anything. Now though, even freewrites are a good read, much more the prompted ones (for me though)

Yes sir!

topic tags can't be restricted so inherently you're entitled to create your own topics. One can take advantage of that (for example we made a 'monolith' topic) to self-promote your content but is also a very nice way to find things you're looking for (and we kind of missed it). So yes most common topics show first, that's fine.

ohhh, 😲 wait, I haven't actually written an article yet so I didn't notice you could actually "Create" custom topics now, i had just checked it out after reading your reply.

well I mean, that's cool if you can create custom topics now, but it has the potential to be spammed, but maybe over time according to peoples behavior, spam will be reduced after all.

and also people might tend to gravitate towards the most common and popular topics. 😅

Custom topics is great because say you created a topic with keyword abc and you only use it for a few posts but it won’t gain any real traction if thousands of users don’t use the same keyword with abc so it will get lost in the crowd and only the ones that are user frequently will be relevant.

indeed, unless that's a topic that a specific niche is interested in, then you will get exposure for that group of people. but at least they're interested 😅

So I think those will not disappear completely. As long as posts and comments like that are not rewarded by the tipping bot (I have seen a lot of spammers cry about that) I think it maybe working. My main observation was that the home page looked clean and now I actually want to read all the articles on the homepage unlike before.

I maybe wrong and maybe it was a one time thing but hoping that I’m right.

Is cleaner now, no doubt. And of course bot doesn't tip comments, but those accounts probably have the activity bonus so they are encouraged to spam (that's why we need the filters, so we don't kill the bonus like it end up being with the point system).

Ah ok and this is where the activity bonus comes in I guess. If they are not regular on the platform and they don’t claim their money they lose it. Very smart.

that's true, knowing a little how A.I algorithms works (just basic though) 😅 and because of the activity bonus, I'm now more active on read.cash.

i have about 32$ in activity bonus that i hope that i can claim in about 5 days or so.

I don't spam, and i think about how my comments can contribute, so hopefully, I'm playing to the rules of the A.I. 😅
