I am new here. The major problem is that this platform maybe difficult to involve as you need 3 days to create your account. Also, the contents are free to “view”. You are not required to login or leave comments. Therefore, most of the user become a silent read-only user. To overcome this problem, fast registration is a must. Just like create a Facebook account in a minute will be the best.
Money actually can encourage “creators” to create. While creativity is not well promoted in most society.
