We see this with our characters showcasing different perspectives in the show .</p><p>In the first case Marshall (Mushroom Man) and Francine, Marshall being out beyond the edge finding the blue angel mushroom even without the assistance of any form of organizations especially those of corporations, Francine being a part of the corporate world working as a marketer/assistant for Rick the CEO of Reutical, a big pharmaceutical corporation, as she mostly does this to make ends meet, paying for her college debts and taking care of her mother suffering from dementia. </p><p>Then there’s our lovely duo investigators Copane and Harrington acting as the arm of the state, the judiciary to be specific, as DEA agents they're tasked to investigate Marshall as a drug-lord pursuing truth and justice.</p><p>Then finally our last viewpoint Wolf and Rick, Wolf who seeks to seeks to protect his means of wealth accumulation to the point where he brushes off the discovery of the blue angel mushroom while Rick actually does the opposite which is to capitalize the blue angel mushroom to accumulate more profits. </p><p>We go through this POVs to showcase the motivations and intentions of these characters on how they interact with the society they find themselves contributing in, maneuvering the underworkings of power especially in the healthcare system. </p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/vlcsnap-2026-08-27-06h41m10s927.png"/></p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/vlcsnap-2026-08-27-06h41m32s735.png"/></p><p><img src="/media/inline_insight_image/vlcsnap-2026-08-27-06h42m21s044.png"/></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 between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The 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.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Contributor Rankings
The Rankings/Leaderboard shows the Top 20 contributors and engagers on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis
— as well as the most active colleges (users attending/that attended those colleges)
The all-time contributors ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly contributors ranking tracks performance of a user's insights for the current month. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on an all-time & monthly basis.
Below is a list of badges on TwoCents and their designations.
