What is the result of discreet clapping?

On July 19, the official issued a public statement on the recent plagiarism incident. The article expounded the official position and ideas. First, some of the key points were extracted as follows:

At present, Matters' clapping is linked to the distribution of the LikeCoin Creation Fund, and your clap (especially the applauding citizens' clapping) will affect the distribution of the Creation Fund. The original intention of this design is to allow readers to anchor the value of good works through the simple action of clapping their hands. But this also brings the problem of clap hands and coins.

The bold font above is something I have always emphasized. Maybe many people don’t know the original intention of the design (turning it into appreciation), but through this official statement, it should be clear that the action of clapping is not social , but Encouraging behavior for good work.

Whether it is intentional or unintentional, people who regard clapping as social, really stop defining what social is by themselves. This is not a matter of personal opinion, but the official has already made a clear interpretation. The reason is that clapping will affect the allocation of creative funds.

When you think that you are exercising social behavior (clapping your hands), your behavior is not just you, but in fact it will affect the rights and interests of others. This is different from buying advertisements for a certain product. Going a little deeper will also affect the quality of articles on the entire platform. I have already talked about these in previous articles. Unfortunately, many people do not care about the future of the platform for their own interests (seeking exposure, clapping, and profit). development is really regrettable.

Some people may say that the article is good or bad. I agree with this, but some articles are obviously lacking in content. I think this does not need to be subjective and objective at all. It is very obvious. It is indeed very difficult for citizens to self-discipline, but the official statement also bluntly stated that this is idealistic, but still hope that citizens and friends can work hard to cooperate.

We ask you all to become appreciative citizens and use your clapping judiciously to vote for works that you truly recognize. This is idealistic, we know, but probably the most important path .

Just after the official public statement was released, I obviously felt that the number of clappings on the station had dropped. It can be seen that everyone heard the official call to clap cautiously . The number of clapping hands for the first place on the station has also dropped significantly to more than 300 every day. Even after less than 200 shots, I can enter the top five of the day. I am not worried about this phenomenon. Instead , I feel that everyone has listened to the official words. Shooting a bird and stamping everyone on the ballot sheet is just to make people pay attention to who the person who voted invalid is, which is what I call selfish (selfish) behavior, and completely ignore the votes by you. How much encouragement (material gains) people get.

More clapping does not mean that you will get more likecoins. In other words, if you are photographed by social clapping people, the income you will get from non-social clapping will be different. People who clapp more socially, naturally each clapping will have less likecoins. Even if you feel that your article has a lot of clapping, you still can’t actually experience the real benefits brought by clapping. This is why everyone has been discussing it a while ago. The truth that there are many clapping hands but fewer and fewer likecoins.

Of course, social clapping is not guilty, because the platform does not prohibit it, I just analyzed whether social clapping can really bring corresponding benefits to the author? Everyone can calm down and think carefully. Maybe some people will say that it would be better to find a group of people to join in the appreciation of citizens and applaud each other? I think this is also a way. It is just to find a group of writers to shoot each other and find a group of Lailucoin to shoot each other, but it has a completely different impact on the overall development of the platform.

Let’s take a look at the changes in the number of hands and Likecoin before and after the official announcement:

The following is a month ago. I found a week with a relatively high number of claps recently to compare. 4246 claps were exchanged for about 2540 Likes, which means that the value of one clap is 0.598 Likes .

99.26 Likes for citizens and 2440.69 Likes for matching funds.

In the next few weeks, the Likes for one shot will fall between 0.73 and 0.88.

However, the official result after the July 19 call for a cautious clapping was as follows:

From the above data, 3128 claps are exchanged for about 4251 Likes, which means that the value of one clap is 1.359 Likes .

Appreciate citizens 1056.21 Likes, matching funds 3195.49 Likes.

I believe that everyone can clearly feel the difference from the above data . Although the number of clapping hands has dropped a lot, the actual Like income has increased . This is the result of the overall citizens' cooperation and cautious clapping, and even praise citizens and non-appreciators . Citizen's Likes have also increased .

No matter how much I say, there is no actual data to prove it convincingly. However, this is just the beginning. In the future, please continue to publish good articles and applaud the good articles on the site. There are many ways to socialize. Actively leaving a message and replying to a message are the best. The method is direct and does not affect other people. Although the cost of clapping is low, the above data report is the result of the joint efforts of everyone. I am also very grateful to all citizens and friends for their understanding and cooperation. I believe we all hope that Matt City can produce more There are many high-quality articles and more excellent authors, so everyone's effort seems small but very precious.
