Do not abuse like coin clap

Mechanism

Think about it, if someone asks you to take out your credit card and sponsor someone 100 yuan, will you have any doubts; but what if you are asked to press the clap button five times, but it is completely free? Which of these would you be more comfortable with? For now, I'm going to just use Grid and Matters.

In terms of mechanism, the square grid is completely paid for, that is, in sponsorship, you have to pay directly; in paid articles, you must pay to read. However, in Matters' mechanism, although there are also sponsorship methods in Hong Kong dollars and paid reading around the fireplace, most of them still use the virtual currency like coin. In this way, ordinary people who are not admiring citizens can also press the clap button for free to encourage authors. The " quality " of the two platforms is not exactly the same.

Abuse like coin clap

Although because of the mechanism of like coin virtual currency, everyone has a way to encourage authors for free, but such a mechanism makes many people abuse like coin to clap their hands. Clapping is obviously intended to encourage authors, but some people use "automatic clapping" or "casual clapping". Where is the " encouragement " in such a way?

The reason why these creators or authors can get money is because of their hard work and good works. Who else can really feel the encouragement of readers?

The number of clapping hands is not equal to the good writing of the article

Just because some people only care about " numbers ", it is meaningless to use the number of clapping hands to measure the value of creation. The number of clapping hands displayed today is likely to be just the " traffic " of this article, that is, as long as the content and title are more eye-catching, the more traffic; plus the clap hands are regarded as worthless people who clap their hands at will, of course clapping The more worthless. At this moment, a really good article may not have popularity, so what about the number of clappings?

maintain this ecosystem

The mechanism concept of like coin clapping is actually very good, so that everyone can survive here without spending a lot of time, a lot of effort, or even money at the beginning; but such a mechanism requires most people to Understand its rationale and do not deliberately destroy it. So I think the following 2 points are important:

1. The number of clapping hands is not just a number. Do not treat the number of clapping hands as a number! The symbol behind the number of clapping hands is that readers like, agree with, and want to encourage the author. If only the number of clapping hands is regarded as a number, then this ecosystem will obviously not be sustainable.

2. Measure value. As mentioned above, the number of clapping hands does not mean that the article is well written. This is not just a conclusion, but a sign that we should change. The reason why the number of clapping hands is 0-5 is that it can measure the value of creation. Of course, good articles will be clapped more often, and bad articles will certainly be less. Don't just pat 5 times without thinking about anything. .

in conclusion

I always think that the concept of clapping like coin is very good, but to maintain this circle and keep the mechanism unchanged, one of the important factors is that everyone must understand the reasoning, not to destroy him, not to abuse the clapping. To maintain this ecosystem, don't just treat the number of clapping hands as a number, but regard it as a " precious encouragement ", and use the value of 0-5 to choose the encouragement given. So, folks, come on.
