[Chat] Matt City VS Potato Earnings Comparison

A few days ago, I posted an article on Matt City VS Potato's use experience and got a lot of discussions. One of them asked me, how many times the income of potato is that of Matt City? I didn't calculate it seriously at that time, busy After a few days, I finally have time to do some calculations today, and friends who are interested can also take a look.

background note

I think the amount of coins obtained will also be different from the time and level of each person's operation on the platform, so I would like to explain my situation to you first, so that the comparison will be clearer.

Potato :
I myself joined Potato on 2021/10/15, and upgraded to LV11 on 2021/12/31. As of this moment, the number of fans is 290. Basically, I earn points by posting and liking comments and then exchange for coins. Every day, I will earnestly earn the 2,000+1,500 points for the likes and comments. If I say this is because it is related to the subsequent calculation, everyone should remember it first!

Matt City :
Matt City started to operate after the first article was published on 2021/12/28, and as of this moment, there are 137 followers.

Recent Statistics (2022/2/27-2022/3/5)

Statistics from 2/27-3/5 this week, because the distribution of Likecoins in Matt City has changed again this week, and the number is very abnormal. I will compare it with last week's!

Potato :
A total of 9 articles were published this week, and 43.64 CFO was obtained. Calculated at the current exchange rate of CFO:TWD=1:16, the weekly income was 698.24 yuan , and the average income per article was 77.58 yuan .

Matt City :
A total of 14 articles were published this week, and 814.72LIKE was obtained. Calculated at the current exchange rate LIKE:TWD=1:0.65, the weekly income was 529.57 yuan , and the average income per article was 37.83 yuan.

If it is analyzed by the situation of matching funds that have been downgraded this week?

Statistics this week (2022/3/6-2022/3/8)

Statistics 3/6-3/8, because the potato 3/9 has not issued coins at the time of calculation, so there is only data up to 3/8.

Potato :
A total of 6 articles were published in the time period, and 19.57 CFO was obtained. Calculated at the current exchange rate of CFO:TWD=1:16, the income in this time period was 313.12 yuan , and the average income per article was 52.19 yuan .

Matt City :
A total of 5 articles were published in the time period, and 132.70LIKE was obtained. Calculated at the current exchange rate LIKE:TWD=1:0.65, the income in this time period was 86.26 yuan , and the average income per article was 17.25 yuan .

It looks like the earnings were roughly 2x before this week, and 3x this week!

So far, it has aroused my statistical soul! Anyway, the graduate thesis of the graduate school was also written using the method of Data Mining. Data analysis is an old friend. Although I haven’t touched it for a long time, I still like it very much! At this point, I feel that the data for one week may be too biased, so let's take a look at this year's data!

Statistics of this year (2022/1/1-2022/3/8)

I counted my own data of Shuangma in the time period of 2022/1/1/-2022/3/8 and got the following table

From this table, it seems that the average daily income of potatoes is really good for Matt City, right! In the long run, there is a difference of 3.19 times . I have repeatedly supported what I said in Matt City VS Potato Experience , operating Potatoes you will get the most substantial monetary reward.

But is it really so?

The devil is in the details

Pull back to explain the ecology of potatoes. The CFO of potatoes is converted by points, and there are several ways to obtain points.

The post is liked, the post is commented, and the post is liked, and the post is commented.

Among them, there is a daily limit of 3,500 for likes and comments on other people's articles.

The only way for Matt City to get a LIKE is that the article is applauded (I know there are Dou Nei and community activities, but this is not within the scope of this discussion, after all, these are uncontrollable factors).

As I said at the beginning, I am a hard-working potato person. After joining the potato, even if I am lazy and don’t post, I will get the 3,500 points every day. Judging from the average point conversion rate of the potato, 3,500 The points can be converted into about 3.5CFO, this part is not the income I create from writing articles, so let's deduct it and see what happens?

Did you find that after deducting the coolie's 3.5CFO, the average daily income of potato has dropped to 1.94 times that of Matt City! In addition, I did a calculation by the way, if you don't write articles in potato, just go up and like it every day If you get 3,500 in the message, you can still get 40% of the daily income of the person who is writing the article. Everyone knows that it takes more time to write an article than you just click a heart or leave a sentence. Unspoken messages take more time, but this is the ecology of potatoes.

At this point of the analysis, I became curious again. If we compare the benefits that each article can get ? Will it be another result?

The benefits of the article

Next, I found out how many articles I posted on Shuangma during the time period of 2022/1/1/-2022/3/8, and then made the following table.

It can be seen from this table that the income per article of Potato is still higher than that of Matt City, but it has dropped from 3.19 times at the beginning to 1.30 times . 1.30 times does represent a lot, but it is only 0.3 times. The difference is actually not that big.

in conclusion

The results of the official statistics still support my thesis, you will get the most substantial monetary rewards when you manage potatoes , but you can get the most benefit from an ascetic business method like mine. It can be seen from the data that although Potato is a text platform, its system actually encourages not writing articles , but interaction . Don’t you see that as long as you get the points of interaction every day, you will write an article with others in a daze. In the dark, I get similar benefits. In fact, potatoes are really relatively unfriendly to creators .

In addition, there is another thing that cannot be presented in this statistics. Potato fans prefer short articles (of course, you can't directly remove articles with less than 200 words), which may also be related to the fact that everyone is too lazy to read articles, so they As I said in my previous article, I will gather several articles from Potato and publish them in Matt City. On the other hand, I will also split an article from Matt City into several articles and publish them on Potato. This is related to the characteristics of platform readers. Good or bad, I won't comment.

The above small double horses are serious users who accidentally fall into the statistics pit to share their experience for reference.

Postscript (I'll just say I've fallen in love with postscript lately!)

From the perspective of mentality, I really like Matt City very much. To be honest, I will only read the messages carefully in Matt City and reply carefully, and this article will be born. This kind of interaction is really good. People want to write articles seriously, and there will be continuous positive motivation.

In addition, I didn't expect this pit to be so big. I originally just wanted to leave a message, but unknowingly I made a lot of statistics, from thinking, data sorting to analysis, it seems that I have re-experimented writing again. The life of the dissertation actually has a passionate topic. It is very happy to write it. It also reminds me of those nights when the lights were on, and the days when I went to bed when the sun came out, I really miss it!
