Noise.cash Says 96% of The Posts Are Trash What's Your Thoughts

In today's video I talk about how noise.cash is changing their free tips policy and what I think about the statement they made about it.

I talk about my opinion of their statement and the main thing that bothered me about what they said. I am not at all against them putting limits or implementing some rules of what they expect for the content to be eligible for free tips. It is after all their site and they are paying for the free tips so they should be able to dictate how they are used. Below is their first statement from yesterday morning that started this all off.

"Three months ago we have launched noise.cash. It was obvious even at that point that there will be some amount of spam/low quality posts. But wow, have people exceeded our expectations. According to our internal rating, 96% of posts we can classify as "spammy" / "low quality". We were kind of hoping it would be like 20%.. I mean how hard should it be to write something original about your life / your thoughts?

Wow! 96% are trashy posts produced by "bio-robots" (people "working" hard moving their fingers between Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, posting stuff from the Internet, random unrelated responses, etc...), some actual robots too.

It's unacceptable.

With that, let me announce that we will soon stop giving FreeTips to "low quality" content authors.

What do we define as "low quality"?

• All kinds of giveaways (if like to give away money, sure, but give your own)
• Subscription/tip exchanges
• Replies like "done", "wow", "nice", "great", "thank you for the information"
• Image posts with a smiley,
• Image posts with a short phrase "London" or "Tree" (or slightly longer "A woman standing near a tree")
• Quotes
• Anything that has been copied from the Internet,
• "Good evening", "hello" posts and replies,
• "Time for a dinner", "here is my dinner", "I just ate dinner", "did you eat your dinner?", "what did you eat for dinner?"
• "My click" (random photo that you took with a phone without anything interesting about it, like a story or something)
• "Thank you XX for tipping me"
  ... and more ...

Generally, ANYTHING that doesn't require brain effort to be created is "low quality" (or "low effort").

You will soon see "Eligible", "Eligible (not reviewed yet)", "Eligible (low quality, at risk)", "Not eligible" or "Not reviewed yet" in your FreeTips dropdown.

"Not reviewed yet" means that your account is new and we haven't yet decided whether to sponsor you with FreeTips or not. (This is done to prevent people abandoning old accounts and creating tons of new accounts - all new accounts will now go through the process of review)

"Eligible" means that we have reviewed your content and find it satisfactory, good or excellent - you will get FreeTips from us.

"Eligible (not reviewed yet)" is a special status for older accounts that have been receiving FreeTips, but we haven't reviewed them yet. It will change to another status once we review your account.

"Eligible (low quality, at risk)" means that you will receive FreeTips, but only until we find someone who creates better content.

"Not eligible" means what it means - we have reviewed your account, we don't want to sponsor your content.

You will also see a date of last review. We review accounts constantly and the fact that you are "Not eligible" today might change if you start creating better content.

There is one more thing that we will probably stop sponsoring in the future - that is promotion of competing sites (Leo, Hive, Peakd, Steem, etc...) and competing cryptocurrencies (i.e. anything except for Bitcoin Cash). Why? Well, our goal is Bitcoin Cash adoption and that's what we want to sponsor. We don't want to sponsor promotion of competing sites that promote their own cryptos or other cryptos. You are still free to talk about them, of course, we just don't see why we should sponsor it with FreeTips.

Are "giveaways" now restricted? No, you can do them. Just do it with your own money :)

Ok, so, what makes content "good"?

Good content is something original, something that you thought of, something that makes people think, something you won't find on the Internet. Real interactions with people, where you add something to the conversation, not just "Good day" or "Thanks!"

It doesn't have to be scientific breakthroughs. Tell us about your life, what's going on? I used to love reading people stories about how they work in on farms, how their cities look, how their life goes on. That's interesting too. As opposed to reading that "Honesty is the best policy" for a millionth time."

In the video I explain my thoughts on this, feel free to leave your thoughts on this in the comments below I would like to know your opinion and see what everyone else thinks about this.
