The Write to Earn upgrade is a definite turning point in the way the content creation is being approached within crypto platforms. Long writing was being encouraged as an experiment. Few barriers, low commissions and a broad open field where any one could make posts and earn. That phase is ending. The maturity indicated by new upgrade comes with structure, filtering and cost.
Most talked about is the raising of commission which was at 5 percent to 20 percent. On the face of it, this is aggressive. Most of the creators instantly view it as a loss. However, when seen in the perspective of systems, it is what Write to Earn is becoming.
It is no longer about another reward of volume. It is about rewarding signal.
In the initial stage, commissions were low in order to promote mass participation. That worked. It contracted thousands of authors and fed feeds. But it made saturation also. Monotony, superficial reporting, and pasting stories saturated the ecosystem. Attention became diluted. There was a problem with quality trying to shine through.
The increase in commission alters the behavior of the creators immediately. It compels authors to reason in a different way. Low effort content is no longer viable. Posts that create actual interest, save, and conversation should be considered to warrant the increased cut. This is the way platforms will change of their own accord into quality mode.
The upgrade also brings incentives into closer conformity. Platforms re-invest larger commissions in distribution, moderation, ranking algorithms and creator tooling. A more robust platform will appeal to more readers. The more people read the more value is created on a post. It is that value loop which makes long term creator economies sustainable.
To serious writers this is no demotion. It is a filter. It will be additional, should your content generate mind share, spur a conversation, and be bookmarked. Quality writing is more scaled in an environment where there is less noise.
Write to Earn is no faucet anymore. It is becoming a marketplace.
Artists are now competing in terms of wisdom, innovation and topicality. That is embarrassing, but needed. All developed media economies pass through such a transition. Free and chaotic phases never last forever. Competitive and structured phases come into place.
Whether there is high or low 20 percent is not a question. The actual issue is whether or not you are creating content that is worthy of living within a more serious ecosystem.
There is one thing that is made clear with theWrite to Earn upgrade. Cryptocast writing is no more informal. It is professional now.
