SivisWhy message dey fade: to last versus di moment
Every message for Sivis dey get life time, and na readers dey add to am. How di fading formula dey work and why dem design am so.
Every Siv dey born with life time
Every message wey dem share for Sivis dey collect 5 minutes life di moment dem post am. When time finish, di message go comot for stage enter archive. Na dis we dey call fading.
But di time no fix. Person wey like di message go light "torch" for am; person wey get something to add go drop "inspiration". Every torch dey add 12 seconds, every inspiration dey add 24.
Na readers dey decide di life, no be writer
Di formula simple: life time = 5 minutes + (torch × 12 seconds) + (inspiration × 24 seconds).
Na measurement wey dey outside di writer control. Good sentence fit last hours; sentence wey nobody send go off for five minutes. Nobody fit inflate im own message: comment wey you write for your own Siv no dey add time.
Why comment heavy pass torch
To write comment take more effort pass to press button. Sivis dey pay dat effort with double time, so di platform dey encourage person to answer instead of just react.
Person fit collect torch back, and di time go reduce di correct way. Dem dey always calculate di life time again from di moment wey dem post di message.
Say e no last no mean archive spoil
Message wey don fade no dey delete. Dem dey keep am for "Echoes" and you fit filter am by country, gender and number of torch.
Wetin no dey last na di stage, no be di content. Sentence go lose stage, but im record still dey.
