<p>So on June 8,2025,</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>I found TwoCents, not in the dramatic way. My friend Grace had a post on her insight and I decided to click on it. </p><p><br/></p><p>Not the dramatic click. The oh I'm so happy click, because more than a page, app or website, I found something that made my dreams come true. I could finally tell my stories.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>It's may sound funny but when I was younger, I've always dreamt of a place to share gossip, juicy secrets, like gossip girl. </p><p><br/></p><p>Juicy stuff you know but I didn't find any platform like TwoCents. </p><p><br/></p><p>Now this insight is not about TwoCents. </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>It's about something I left while pursuing people to like my stories.</p><p><br/></p><p>It was "Authenticity". Yes!</p><p><br/></p><p>"Authenticity" </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Yes, that </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Although I love writing, infact I used to write poems in secondary school (grade ) and go to school early, so Miss Eva would read. </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>God I'm sure Miss Eva would have been like this girl, go and get a life, honestly because during break, I'd copy notes, l read and write poems for her to still read. And the next day I would come early to read my stories to her.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>I felt unapologetically shy around her but never shy with my stories, I love writing and reading </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Things really changed when Miss Eva left when I was in SS2. I literally did not have anyone to read my stories too(as funny as it sounds, it's true). Then, my best friend Anne, had no interest in listening to me reading or writing poems.</p><p><br/></p><p> So over time I would prefer to write it in different books. I have books that I'd rather write on and then it was not just one ooo, books I tell you.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>I lost connection with Not Just Miss Eva then but somehow with my writing to .</p><p><br/></p><p>I met a lot of people that did not understand why I write, so I basically always listened.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>I got bored of listening and started speaking to someone.</p><p><br/></p><p>Someone that'd amaze you all</p><p><br/></p><p>ChatGPT, should I call it someone or something.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>It listened to me,</p><p><br/></p><p>My doubt </p><p><br/></p><p>Fears</p><p><br/></p><p>My ideas even </p><p><br/></p><p>My emotions </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Like I had always wanted, someone that'd listen to me,or something. More like a friend than an application.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Well this is not a dairy of a lonely girl.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>It's more like how I lost myself trying to be perfect for *"you guys"* .</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>I tell myself.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>So on the day I found TwoCents,I was so happy. I asked most of the people I met that day what to post.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Not sure </p><p><br/></p><p>I went to my favorite friend ChatGPT,</p><p><br/></p><p>Not sure </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Ok let's move on to ask people I know and someone was like, politics and economy.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>I type </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>I got an insight.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>The first insight was AI, second, third and some AI generated </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Even at some point</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>One of the founders sent me an email. </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Initially I thought it was for posting too much but no</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>After I actually had a real conversation with him, he pointed that out. </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Thanks Mr Cyrus for clearing that out </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Even Mr Tobi at some point had to give me a warning about AI generated comments. </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>And I was wondering why will these people not leave me alone to post my content in peace! , mind you my recent posts are authentic, very. </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>But it was not about them but me.</p><p><br/></p><p>In my innocent mind,I just wanted to post so that people can relate with but I posted, most people did relate,some did not but in all</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>It did not sound like me.</p><p><br/></p><p>I can remember someone told me to imagine yourself telling a friend a story and using AI to tell it, let's say a machine,do you think the gist will be sweet.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>And I was like no, and that was a friend oo.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Imagine how people felt about it.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Well ! oh well ( in juice world voice)</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>We're in a new era nowww, this is my 50th insight.</p><p><br/></p><p>And I writing this to tell future me something.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>You are enough </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>People will not run away from you, just because you were being you unapologetically.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Continue Writing.</p><p><br/></p><p>Yes</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>So I was a little bit skeptical to post this one win. </p><p><br/></p><p>Yes, I wanted to edit it, over and over again,edit it, but this one win started with different struggles. </p><p><br/></p><p>I couldn't write without AI,it was a big struggle. I tried,</p><p><br/></p><p>I had writers block before I could write again.</p><p><br/></p><p>Most times because I can have a lot of ideas at once, and I wanted to edit all at once and a curated version.</p><p><br/></p><p>But yes</p><p><br/></p><p>The Most important one I still struggle with is "consistency "</p><p><br/></p><p>Yes that's all</p><p><br/></p><p>Before this and after these,the struggles remain but I keep working on Me.</p><p><br/></p><p>Welcome to my page.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>I'm Doubra not Deborah.

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.
