My impression of using Potato media for a few days

Played for about six days and broke 10,000 points.

First explain its scoring mechanism:

"How to get points

1. You can get 20 points by liking a post within a week of the posting time, and you can get a maximum of 2000 points per day
2. (Official certified creators have a daily like limit of 1000 points)
3. You can get 30 points for commenting on posts within one week of the posting time, and the daily limit is 1500 points
4. 15 points can be obtained by clicking on the exclusive link, with a daily limit of 15,000 points
5. (The daily limit of exclusive link points for officially certified creators is 60,000 points)
6. 15 points for my post being commented on
7. 10 points for likes on my posts
8. Invite friends to sign up for 100 points for both parties

CFO Token

Daily points will be turned into CFO tokens, which can be exchanged for cash in the virtual currency exchange market, which is the main source of income for creators. "

(official from Potato media)

How many CFOs can there be in ten thousand cents?

Of the total of about 22.1 CFOs, 15 came from the referral code found on Matters, and the remaining 7.1 is the number of tokens that the accumulated 10,000 points were converted into.

10,000 points in six days is definitely not fast. I have published a total of 9 posts and reached 10,000 points. More than 90% of the points come from the comments and likes of the published articles (the number of likes above 60 per post, The amount of comments is variable) , and I rarely like or comment on other articles, which is related to the fact that I don't swipe this type of social media very much.

The current reference value of the CFO currency price is not very useful to me, because the fees for both withdrawal and conversion of tokens are too high , and it does not add up to a few dollars (laughs.

position

At first, I thought Potato media was a platform like instagram , because vertical layout and pictures took up most of the layout, but the layout of the introduction was shrunk . The article class structure, but lacks many basic functions, such as bold and italics, and can only use the title to highlight the content .

But it took me a while to overturn my idea. I think it is more inclined to be a short content platform , that is, pictures and titles need to display 7-80% of the content to attract users to watch it, rather than promoting high-quality content. The platform is more inclined to the fast food article platform, which is indeed the orientation of many social media nowadays. Users prefer interesting and direct content rather than reading a long article to think about the content, which also makes Matters different. (At present, my impression of Matters is that it is more inclined to platforms such as medium)

I want to talk about the pros and cons of the platform.

Pros

Encourage interaction and create value

Because of the platform's point mechanism, if you want to get more points and exchange tokens, you can like and leave a message in addition to posting articles, so you can see that although the current number of users on the platform is not too many, there will still be a lot of room for interaction. Users also often like and speak, which is the same but opposite concept as Matters. On Matters, the more you applaud, the less likes can be distributed, so users are encouraged to applaud articles they really like, so that authors can get more likes. Potato media is probably still in the initial stage. The more interactions, the more people will be allocated, so there is no need to consider this issue.

Show readings

Everyone can clearly see the reading volume of each post, so you can find the advantages and disadvantages of writing your own posts from the posts with high traffic.

classified

Unlike Matters, I think it's a good thing to create categories in Potato media, because users who like to use these two platforms have obviously different tendencies. Creating categories in Potato media allows users to clearly find their favorite categories.

Cons

Certain categories are uncomfortable

After I mentioned the classification above, I went on to say that the three categories of "zhengmei", "sporty man" and "meat search" are all classification names that obviously make me feel uncomfortable. The materialization and possible harassment contained in them are all people Worrying, how many people will take their own pictures and then classify themselves into the first two categories? And what kind of mentality do people read these posts with? In the end, I think "Meat Search" should be able to feel why I feel uncomfortable without interpreting it (but this category has no content, I don't know why the platform opened this category, and I don't want to speculate).

UI UX

The computer and the mobile phone should share the same UI. The resolution of the cover image displayed on the computer is very low, and it occupies more than one page. Scroll down to see the introduction of the article, which greatly affects the user experience; It may be my personal problem, the avatar and cover image are not displayed all the time, and I often need to log in again. After entering the password, it keeps showing that loading cannot log in.

I saw a lot of people talking about the problem of auditing. I have been posting articles for the past few days since I registered, and I have sent them out immediately. I think this problem has been improved.

Potato media is still a very new platform at present. The biggest selling point is that it uses decentralization as a platform. Users/authors can benefit from it. From the moment of registration, they can see the exact profit. Compared with other social media needs Only by cultivating a certain number of fo, there may be room for profit, and it is easier to start.

There are more ordinary users of this type of platform who can also be more exposed to the concept of "creation is valuable" . I still believe that only by allowing more people to approach creation can they cherish the value of these intangible things, rather than "you It's not just writing a text, drawing a picture...".

Seeing that the platform will be more inclined towards forums and will also be exposed to more life, entertainment, and live broadcast content, it is worth looking forward to how it will continue to develop.

Finally, I still have to push the recommendation code~
