Social Mining Role Models

Many of you resonated with the entry we’ve posted last week about social mining. We’ve also received requests about releasing certain photo/video examples as criteria for users to better understand what are considered “quality posts”.

User Behavior:

Lit discourages multiple stories with similar content. It is recommended that 1 story/video is uploaded for the same setting to avoid duplication.

In addition, the mechanism of social mining takes interaction points off when “viewers viewed too briefly or tapped like too fast”. Similar settings may lead to a brief view time or even the unwillingness to view post, which results in the decrease of interaction point performance.

We encourage quality posts and creations, and set no limits to the likes given out each day. However, our system still observes user behaviors and adjust in accordance to the likes given. For instance:

1. If viewers tend to view briefly and give out likes in a heartbeat, this decreases the interaction points of the post;
2. If the user views each post briefly while frequently giving out likes to each post, it is considered “like spamming”. The user level will consequently be degraded.

Reminder:

We encourage users to like whatever post you love, providing an incentive and reward for content creators. However, frequent and brainless likes will have a negative impact on social mining for both content creators and viewers.

Photos:

We have three key points for you to take home:

1. Quality photo (vivid, not blurry, in high resolution)
2. Diversified themes
3. Original and unique

In addition, video uploads from time to time are recommended in order to demonstrate your unique creativity and life.

To fully elaborate the outstanding examples that we adore, we have featured some role models below:

User 1

As you can see, these photos are vivid, not blurry and in high-resolution.

But of course we understand that not everyone owns an iPhone X or a superb photo editing skill, so here’s user number 2 as a reference.

User 2

Creators can find a place of his/her own on Lit.

All sorts of illustrations or creations are very welcomed on Lit.

It can be sketches in process or your masterpiece. Lit looks forward to art in any form: from pencil sketches, comics to oil paintings.

User 3

We also understand that not everyone paints. So Lit would love to see daily posts about life. It can be home living, kiddos, friend reunions, food, outings, night scenes.

Please do share your life with us — as long as the photo has a vivid theme!
