Talk about writing platform Potato Media

Because of the article " Notes on Potato Media Writing Platforms " by @kaihangsheng , I came to know Potato Media, but I was not very familiar with it at first. After all, it is a new platform and a new mechanism, and it takes time. to understand, so I put it on hold for the time being. I didn't take the time to understand it at first, and I wanted to observe it first to see if there would be any problems; because I just had the time now, I studied it a bit, so I would like to share with you the problems I found.

Brief description

To put it simply, the Potato Media platform obtains points through different methods, then exchanges virtual currency, and finally withdraws cash to get money. The ways to get points include: like and comment on other people's articles, and your own articles are liked and commented. By the way, the predecessor of this website is called "Zhai Forum", and the website does not seem to ask anyone to pay, so whether it is a scam, I personally don't think it is very likely.

Points mechanism problem

Let’s talk a little bit about it. On the Potato Media platform, there are many ways to get points, and points can get actual money. One of the ways to get points is to leave a message. However, this seems to be a good mechanism, readers can get money by leaving a message, in fact, there are still problems.

Because rumors can get money, so a lot of people leave a message at the bottom of the article, such as "Thank you for sharing", "Like" and a series of laundering, so of course, it seems that many people click like (you can also get money by like), leave a message, After watching the article, 80% of the comments are the same content. Although there are clear official regulations, there will be punishment for washing the board, but it does not seem to have a deterrent effect. In addition, the number of people is really large, and I don't know how to detect if the text is really washed. Hope this problem will improve in the future.

Audit mechanism issues

Probably because "high-quality articles" are to be retained, ordinary creators must submit articles for review before they can be officially released. The problem here is that the official does not want to have too short articles, but certain categories of articles are relatively short; or it is stipulated that articles must have pictures, then if there are really no matching pictures, or the pursuit of only text Woolen cloth?

Finally, the review time of articles takes 1-3 days. According to my experience, 2 articles have been submitted for review, and they have not been completed until the second day, so the average may be more than 2 days, will it be too long? And the number of articles There are really many. Will manual review be too busy? What should I do if someone maliciously sends blank articles with no substance?

Classification mechanism problem

On the Potato Media platform, there are also so-called tags, but there is also a category page, which requires creators to categorize articles. However, this classified layout is not very comprehensive at present. Many types of articles do not know where to post. If the articles are finished, what if there is no such layout? Or, will the articles on this platform be limited to a certain area? Which categories lead to lower diversity of articles?

in conclusion

These are the questions that I feel I need to think about right now. Of course, the platform is still in beta version, so there may be many issues that need to be resolved. Like the part of the classification mechanism, I have seen adding new classifications; the part of the integration mechanism has also indicated that it needs to be dealt with. Therefore, you can observe it for a while to see the situation, and hope that the problems mentioned above in the official version can be solved.

Promotion time: If you really need it, you can use my referral link or referral code i5pfjdZDl, and if you have time, you can go to my webpage , although no article has been approved yet. (Although the laundering is rich, I still hope that everyone can read the article seriously)
