Back To The Future
The Cliff Anonymous (An Author's Mean Confession)Back To The Future
I wonder if readers know that for every one subscription, the writers earn one karma point.
For every one vote, one karma point.
It's not in the sense that readers "give" karma points when they subscribe that they lose that one karma point. I repeat, nothing is being deducted from your points. The moment you click that subscribe or upvote button, a point is simply added to the author's karma points.
Actually, some readers know this.
But if they start to feel like the story is wasting their time, or they don't like where the story is going, they unsubscribe.
They unsubscribe in hopes of taking back that one point that they gave you when they subscribed.
They unvote to take back that one point.
Know what? It doesn't work that way.
Even if you unsubscribe, even if you unvote, our karma points will NOT go down.
It's irreversible.
So what's the use of unsubscribing or unvoting when you can't take back that one point that you added to our accounts?
This isn't back to the future.
