Unraveling the Mystery Behind Why Responses Are Called Stories
Written on
Chapter 1: Understanding Responses
Have you ever pondered why the feedback you provide is often labeled as stories? This question has intrigued me for a while, especially after encountering a thought-provoking comment from another writer that encouraged me to delve deeper into the topic.
To begin, let's explore the functionalities available within the Responses tab after selecting Stories from your profile. Here, you will find a compilation of all the comments you've made on other writers' narratives, alongside your own responses.
Additionally, I previously wrote an article detailing how the Responses tab can aid in avoiding the dreaded comment jail. If you're interested, you can check out that piece.
Once you access the Responses tab, clicking on any of your comments will take you to a page displaying the full text of your response. On this page, the three horizontal dots offer various options regarding your comment.
As illustrated in the screenshot, you can email your response to subscribers, review statistics, adjust settings, and even incorporate them into publications. While some options may seem less useful, let's concentrate on the statistics.
Similar to every article you publish, you can actually monitor the stats for your responses, which is quite comparable to your main articles. However, I have yet to discover how beneficial this feature truly is.
It's quite obvious that you can clap, highlight, and comment on responses as well, right? This realization led me to ponder an interesting question: if a comment is read for over 30 seconds, does it count as a general read?
Transitioning back to the comment I encountered from another writer, it suggested that responses can now be monetized. This feels like a recent development, but there is still much I need to learn before I can validate this information.
