My suggestion isn’t one I suspect would gain any traction at all but I wanted to offer up a way, a bad one obviously but a way nonetheless, to possibly increase the desire for more numbers articles or something to get more players interested in the analysis side of the league. I understand that only the minimal number of people are even remotely interested in that stuff but I was thinking of something in a quickly written article. One thing I have seen was to increase the payout for statistical articles while keeping other media the same. While I doubt that gains any momentum, my main gripe was articles that are long winded articles that don’t address some major back story or analysis and are just short money grabs about not much.
I get you. I could be wrong, but don't good statistical articles usually already get a bonus on top? I think that's also just a general media thing, as long as an article isnt some over the top dramatic piece, it doenst get much traction. Which is just an inherent flaw of the media system, and I say this as someone who rarely looks at media besides if my team or my player gets mentioned (which I bet goes for a ton of people), but luckily we don't base it around how many responses someone gets.
While the longer winded articles about someones new cat might be fluff to the charachter development or just a cash grab, as long as there has been put some effort into the article I am oke with those. We shouldnt be giving money to people who hit the 'suggested word' option on their phone 200 times, but anything decently written should just get paid.
I didn't mean my response to be an attack, but rather my 2 cent.
