The headline article will be divided into rules from January 8, 2024.
My understanding is:
The coefficient of originality (the highest) has been reduced: from 3 to 2;
The starting subsidy, or 3.
The user preference coefficient and fan increase coefficient are canceled.
The originality coefficient (the highest) is still 3 basic 1,000 words reading unit price, which is still floating.
Therefore, the total income may decline or rise, depending on the unit price of the basic thousand-word reading and the proportion of original debuts. Headlines encourage original, first-time creation...
On January 8th, there may be many people who feel that their income has increased, probably because the platform has [temporarily] increased the unit price of basic 1,000-word reading, in order to let the creator adapt, and then it may slowly decline, so the total revenue after that is also declining!
In general, Toutiao's optimization of the rules this time is a "disguised salary cut" in order to save costs, reduce costs and increase efficiency! [covers face]
