Currently only the few boards that are classified as "Active" get to share in the income of RTB. Based on the criteria that was in place before the rebranding of BBS to RTB, the only board that actually qualify to be "Active" Is RTBHOME. Before the rebranding, METABBS was the only board that qualified but even this board (now rebranded to METARTB) fails to meet the criteria set. It is high time to revise the criteria for transparency and clarity for targets that boards can aim to achieve. 🦋 I hope that the following suggestions will be considered : 1) The number of users of RTB is negligible compared to the heydays of BBS. The influencers joining RTB will be good for RTB in the long run. But in terms of getting active users, the increase has been very low 🦋.
In order to attract users to RTB, the distribution of rewards need to be widened. With the distribution restricted to just a few "Active" boards and no realistic or clear targets for other boards, there is no incentive for people to try to start or grow boards that will get to participate in the income of RTB. 🦋 The early days of BBS with easy money led to abuses and we should not go back to them. CPM rates of 150 or even 50 are not sustainable. I would like to suggest a 2 tier CPM rate to be implemented. Say 8 or 10 for boards meeting the revised criteria to be considered as "Active" and say 3 for other boards. The low CPM rate for non Active boards is so as to not attract junk posts made to earn. What can be earned by junk posts will not be worth the effort of making them. On the other hand the owners of boards that have yet to qualify for active status will at least have a little funds to reward good posts/comments. Currently such boards have no funds for tips and are unable to attract users to remain active.
