Life of a moderator
July 23, 2020
I thought it might be a great idea to ignore the list with notifications (my central post system) and read some articles on the homepage, read.cash's cps, for a change. Just to motivate me and discover some new talent. With 11k accounts, it must be possible to read something good or? Good is good enough to read, comment, and reward with some money instead of the upvote/like icon.
I just created some extra time for me to do what I like most. No cooking today. We had milk, cheese, ham and cashews and some ice cream and tea.
The homepage... What shall I say. I had a look at it, scrolled a bit up and down, and felt disappointed. I felt as if I was reading Twitter or Facebook messages. "Hello, this is... again", "Good evening here is...".
No, this is nothing to laugh about. What happened to the articles? Where are they? What happened to those great writers? All those people who joined the free writer's contest willing to learn writing? People, where are you?
Laughing out loud won't make this situation any better. Trust me it doesn't.
I clicked on a few posts and read, tried to read after I struggled through the "Hi, I am here again" and list of sponsors and other useless information which have nothing to do with the title, the topic, the article! Is this what read.cash users call an article? Really?
Imagine you buy a bestseller and the first 40 pages are filled with advertisements and information you didn't ask for.
This is what I as a writer and moderator will do to motivate myself to like reading here again.
I will no longer follow you or add any of your posts to the communities I moderate or help moderating.
If you write a poem you start with a poem not with your name, how your day was, and who your sponsors are. If you want to scare your readers, real readers away this is the way to do it.
If you write a short story/tale you start with the story!
If you freewrite you start freewriting and you stick to the rules.
Take care of your layout. Use Grammarly it's a free app and invests in what you write! It's not about quantity but quality. If you want to write a short note do not call it an article and please, do not add it to the communities. They all have rules and one of them is, if it comes to writing, a minimum of words!
Please, stop introducing yourself with each text you write!
It is not professional. Your readers are no idiots. They follow you, read you and know who you are.

Grammarly + slow internet connection
the articles deserve to be of quality, that those who read them can understand them, here there can be no familiarity because the read cash platform is not a social network, each writer who wishes to write must read the rules of each community, if your article fits to the community send it to her, thanks for your suggestions ...
