Many read.cash community members have struggled to monetize their content after the change to bot tipping on this platform. Some of my content was tipped fortunately, but some of it was not. Like many of you, I struggled to understand what type of articles would get tipped, so I decided to do some research.

The following is a small compilation of read.cash articles that have been tipped by the bot over the past few weeks. Some of the tips are small, while others are very generous.

It's very important to note that I'm not critiquing any aspects of these articles. These are simply my observations that will hopefully help other community members discover what type of content has been tipped recently.

Rewarded with small tips

Japanese Food

This was an interesting article by @Brook09, since I don't think it even qualifies as having any words in it, let alone the recommended 600 words recommended at the onset by the bot. Well, I guess the hyperlinks count as words...

Article statistics:

• # of words: zero?

• # views: 7 at time of viewing

• # likes: 5 at time of viewing

If you want to see the entirety of this very short article, please see the link below. Not recommended if you are hungry though, since the photos look delicious. 😉

Is torn hymen and bleeding true sign of virginity?

I decided to not include the lead cover image, because some individuals may not be comfortable with the nature of the image (blood).

@Cyprianj appears to have a medical background according to the profile, but there's no way for me to confirm or deny this claim. The topic is definitely unique, although I'm curious why the bot finds it interesting. Again, I'm not critiquing the topic or the article. I'm simply making observations. I can only speculate the bot wants more medical-related articles on read.cash by tipping it.

Article statistics:

• # of words: about 300

• # views: 4 at time of viewing

• # likes: 2 at time of viewing

If you want to study the content of this article, please see the link below. Remember, graphics may not be suitable to those who are squeamish about the sight of blood.

Daily Crypto News & Video, September, 24th

@CryptoLemon collects interesting news about the crypto industry and summarizes them into a single article. This one also includes a video clip.

Article statistics:

• # of words: about 1,000*

• # views: 60 at time of viewing

• # likes: 60 at time of viewing

* Although the article contains about 1,000 words, I would guess that only about 5% of the article was actually written by the author. The other 95% consists of quotations from the other articles that are referenced. For content creators who rely heavily on vlogging, or those who may struggle with writing English, this may be a method to reach the 600 word recommendation.

Values that we should teach children

This was the largest tip that I managed to find. I honestly didn't do a very thorough search on the entire read.cash community, but if anyone knows of a bigger tip that was left by the bot, please let me know in the comments below.

This was a well-written article by @aleja and it offers great advice.

Article statistics:

• # of words: about 640

• # views: 56 at time of viewing

• # likes: 78 at time of viewing

Her article can be viewed here if you wish to study it for your reference. Please also feel free to say hi to her, and to congratulate her, since that was an amazing tip that she received! 👍

Conclusions

Despite the small sample size, I would like to point out some of my findings:

1. Longer articles tend to receive larger tips

2. Reader engagement has a small role, based on number of views/comments

3. The bot finds all sorts of topics to be tip-worthy

Please also be aware that past tipping behavior by the bot is no guarantee of similar tipping behavior in the future, as confirmed by the bot itself.

I'm still in testing mode.

Even though my creators think that I'm pretty good, sometimes I still make mistakes. My current accuracy is about 88%. So, I'll accidentally tip wrongly about every 7th article... It's not great, but I'm not discouraged, I'm still trying to learn! - TheRandomRewarder

My advice for prospective authors would be to write about what you are passionate about, and not worry about whether the bot will tip your content. I recently took a course about how to create your personal brand, and I think many of its teachings are relevant to how you want to be viewed as an author. My article was tipped modestly by the bot, and you can also see how I wrote it in the link below for your reference.

If you were wondering, this article that you have just read contains about 900 words.
