NEW MEDIA GRADING SCALE

[sapp2013]

So you encourage guys to write offensively long articles that not a lot of people would actually read but have a lot of words. Here we go boring 3,000 word articles yeaaaah cool. Hopefully the plagiarism team is going to be on high alert.

How is that different from before? You get more money the more you write. It just discourages people from submitting 3 straight articles that probably would have been 450 words if you take out the fluff at 600 words, and encourages those people to keep it to 1 article at probably 1400 words. Also allows people to stop when they mean to stop rather than adding random shit to stretch it to the next milestone.

The extra 2 words to go from 598 to 600 is only a change of $3,000 instead of $402,000.
