<p>One night at exactly 11:36 pm your Ex boyfriend from Eight months ago will call you. Although you deleted his contact, you will know it's him because his phone number ends with 0097. You will contemplate whether to pick up the phone or not, because it's strange and you already had a bad day at school, but you'd think about a million different reasons why he could be calling. Your heartbeat will accelerate as you "swipe to accept" the call on your iPhone XR. You would hear his heavy breathing and the "Hello, how are you pretty?" after, you'd reply with “I'm good and you?" He'd tell you that he is also good. He would then proceed to tell you about his day, his new office, his family, his business, his new iPhone 17 pro max, and his cousin that passed away. You'd listen quietly and occasionally throw in a few “sorry about that" .You'd smile inwardly because Saleem had always been a talker and some things never change. He'd then ask about your family, how school was treating you, how you were coping with the weather, he'd congratulate you on your new ice pops business,and you would thank him for asking.</p><p><br/></p><p>He would proceed to tell you why he called, how much he misses you, how boring his life had become without you and how he'd been trying to survive without your presence. He would tell you he didn't understand then, and he doesn't know if anything can change now. You'd smile and be happy, you'd tell him you miss him too, and also about the new guy in your DM and how the guy doesn't mean anything to you. You will talk about all the restaurant dates you went on and how the cost of their menu has changed, you would talk about all your happy and sad moments, you will laugh until your cheeks hurt, and you will remember how much you loved Saleem and that he loved you too. You both will talk for another 3 hours and 11 minutes and end the call at around 4 am, with him promising to call you after he closes from the office that day. You will not be able to sleep till fajr prayer and all you'll think about during the day is the color of your Ashoebi, where you want the wedding dinner to take place and who among your sisters you'd pick as your Maid of honor, Saah or Jannah. Your mood will be pleasant for the entire day, you would be anticipating Saleem's call towards night time and he would not call. You would conclude he's busy and force yourself to sleep. You would wake up the following day and still no call or text from him, your high would become low, you would try his phone and it would not connect. You would then open Instagram to cheer up your mood and the first post you see are his wedding pictures on an Instagram blog page. You'd scream "It's a lie!", you large round eyes will pop out in disbelief, your chest will tighten and there would be enough space for your lungs to expand. The tears will come like heavy downpour from the sky, you will lay on your bed, squeeze your yoga pillow and cry your eyes out! </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to 7 people with the best insights in the past month. The 7 winners are picked
by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.

user engages with other users' content via comments and upvotes.
Here is a list of metrics that are used to calcuate the Engagement Score, arranged from
the metric with the highest weighting, to the one with the lowest weighting.
1
A user's comments (excluding replies & said user's comments on their own content)
2
A user's upvotes
Monthly Score
The Top Monthly Contributors ranking is a monthly metric indicating how users respond to your posts, not just how many you publish.
We look at three main things:
1
How strong your best post is —
Your highest-scoring post this month carries the most weight. One great post can take you far.
2
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
We also look at the average score of all your posts. If your work keeps getting good reactions, you get a boost.
3
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
Posting more helps — but only a little.
Extra posts give a small bonus that grows slowly, so quality always matters more than quantity.
In simple terms:
A great post beats many ignored posts
Consistently engaging posts beat one lucky hit
Spamming low-engagement posts won't help
Tips, comments, and upvotes from others matter most
This ranking is designed to reward
Thoughtful, high-quality posts
Real engagement from the community
Consistency over time — without punishing you for posting again
The Top Monthly Contributors leaderboard reflects what truly resonates, not just who posts the most.
