Ｗe appreciate all the support from the Lit users, and we understand a guide to a better-social-mining result is desired by all the users.

The ever-improving algorithm is more than a set of mathematical formulas, so it will remain undisclosed.

That being said, we are introducing to you the concept behind the Lit social mining system to help you enjoy social mining more.

Basically, all stories are scored and converted to the number of MITH tokens rewarded.

The exact number of MITH tokens rewarded from social mining is determined by various factors,

Quality Score

Quality Score is related to the quality of contents and other factors.

Accumulated Engagement Score

Accumulated Engagement Score is based on the interaction between a creator and the viewers.

Account Rating

The Account Rating of a user is largely determined by the user’s activity on the Lit platform. It affects the number of tokens rewarded. Also, users rated low will have a lower Accumulated Engagement Score.

Quality Score

What gives your content higher quality score?

1. Unique photos:

Image recognition technology is used for Lit Social Mining and the model reads photos. The more special and unique your photos are, the more diversity they create for Lit, then the higher quality score they have.

2. Dynamic engagement:

Engagement metrics are calculated based on the number of views, likes and messages for each story. When the engagement reaches a specific level, the Quality Score of the story is increased.

3. Invested time:

When viewers spend more time on a specific content creator’s story than other stories, it shows that the viewers are more delighted to read that story, and its Quality Score increases.

What lowers the quality score of your content?

1. Graphic, violent, sexual, inappropriate content; content that is not created by the creator (stolen photos); duplicated content created by the creator or other creators:

To encourage the creation of high-quality content, all the above will not be categorized as “valuable creation” and given a low Quality Score. Account will be blocked for posting nudity.

2. Photo quality:

Blurry photos have a lower quality score.

Accumulated Engagement Score

How to increase accumulated engagement score?

1. Invested time:

When viewers spend more of their time on a specific creator, they are considered as “loyal fans” of this creator. Engagement from loyal fans are more valuable than engagement from regular viewers.

2. Genuine likes:

When a viewer gives fewer likes to all creators, it means the viewer is genuine and does not like everything. The engagement therefore is more valuable than the engagement of other viewers.

What lowers the accumulated engagement score?

1. When a viewer follows a creator but does not watch his/her content for a recorded time:

Engagement from “disloyal fans” are less valuable than engagement from regular viewers.

2. When a viewer watches or likes too fast:

Lit encourages the creation of valuable contents and encourages viewers to watch the contents and give genuine likes. As such, when a viewer watches or likes too fast, the engagement has lower value.

3. Suspicious reciprocal engagement:

It has come to the attention of the Lit team that some users like each other’s content reciprocally. When it is detected by the system, the value is lowered.

4. Multiple accounts:

The Lit team has found that some users create multiple accounts, upload duplicate contents, and sham engagement between accounts. When it is detected by the system, the value is lowered.

Account Rating

What improves your rating?

1. Growth in the number of fans

Fans are defined as users who view each new content of a specific creator. The growth in the number of fans means the content of the creator is recognized, and the rating of the creator will be improved.

What lowers your rating?

1. Spam, repeated and similar messages to different users:

This is considered as inappropriate advertisement and harassment, and the rating of the account falls.

2. Send friend requests to inactive users:

Lit, as a social platform, expects real and authentic interaction among users. Sending follow requests to inactive users (new users excluded) is considered as abnormal usage, and the rating of the account drops.

3. Spend too little time on each story and like stories too frequently:

The Lit team deploys various standards for skimming through stories and liking each story too often. When the frequency reaches a level, it is labeled as zombie likes and abuse of the platform. The account is blocked automatically.

4. Story reported by other users and the red flag is confirmed:

The rating of the creator falls when a red flag is confirmed.
