Reasons I love Matt City

I haven't been to Matt City a bit lately.

The reason is the same as most office workers: busy with work and neglected to write articles.

I came to Matt City not long ago, but I know the existence of Matt City can be traced back to last year.

At that time, I forgot what I was searching for on Google and accidentally broke into this platform.

If I remember correctly, registration was not allowed at that time, and it was an invitation-only platform. But I like it here because I can read articles published by different people who have made achievements in professional fields (especially in the humanities and social sciences).

After that, Matt City opened registration. Anyone who is interested can enter and write articles. I registered two accounts, but after thinking about it, I decided to use the current one, the other one is idle, and I also forgot the login password. An account is a surplus account.

Matt City gave me a good time back in the days of blogging.

It has been more than 20 years since I wrote this blog.

When I was young, I wrote posts on forums. Later, Wuming Xiaozhan was established, and I moved to Wuming to write for a long time, until it was acquired by Yahoo and finally announced that it would be closed. After I migrated my obscure articles to other platforms, YouTube rose, and many bloggers moved to video, and now to podcasts.

I didn't go to the audio-visual field with the brigade, and I am most attached to the text.

Only in the world of words can I be as quiet as the old roots of a big tree, silently growing different roots in the ground, firmly grasping the soil, and grasping every joy, sorrow and joy that has happened in my life.

Matt City to me is like finding a fertile ground again.

I sprinkle text on it. Unexpectedly, there is still a "reward" mechanism, clap your hands, you can have LikeCoins to accumulate.

To be honest, when I came to Matt City, I was more pure. I just wanted to complain anonymously and share my true self that cannot be exposed in the real world. I don't aspire to be a hit and I don't want to be a hit. The more hidden the place where my thoughts and feelings take root, the more I like it. Although I can't guarantee it at the moment, if one day, the city of Matt is bustling and bustling, I will choose to leave this platform.

The plagiarism wind in the city is particularly strong recently.

When you log in to see the most recommended articles in Matt City, you can see that the friends on the platform are hotly discussing this topic.

I liked Matt City when it first started. simple. It's not that it's not simple anymore. I understand that when something has been around for a long time, it is impossible to have it as flat and transparent as it used to be. The number of participants has gradually increased, and the number of teams has also expanded accordingly. Where there are people, there will be right and wrong. Where there are people, there will definitely be problems created to a certain extent.

Besides, no set of theories or mechanisms is absolutely equal.

If you pursue an absolutely pure person, it must be very difficult to struggle, right?

Therefore, when I saw people in the city publish critical articles on plagiarism, group applause, etc., I interpreted it with a "cold eye". I think that the current situation in Matt City is that (for creators on the Internet) it is gradually becoming the "lowest fruit", and whoever gets here first will seize the best position and opportunity.

Also, because the development of Matt City is full of exciting expectations, it will inevitably attract people who are "scheming". They didn't want to destroy this environment, it was just that this environment was too attractive and profitable for them, which proved that Matt City was not far from the period of blossoming and fruiting.

However, this is also the latest hidden worry-accidentally, plagiarism and clapping hands together have become a "bad wind".

There is no growth without criticism.

But I don't want to get involved in any criticism.

When people reach middle age, they have a lot of worries. Sometimes, when I don’t know who to talk to, I want to write it out.

Matt City appeared at this time, as if it was a secret arrangement. You don't have to show your face, you can stay anonymous.

In reality, my identity prevents me from expressing much personal thoughts and opinions. But in Matt City, as I said before, it reminds me of No Name, although articles published on this site cannot be permanently deleted. But I am willing to record my mentality of "middle-aged anxiety" in this early stage in this undeletable environment.

Join Matt City and the way to love it is to publish more articles. The premise is that the original article.
