Question

Ok what's the point of having OS brought by Brainly when Openstudy is still struggling. As they say Brainly Brought OS to make "OPENSTUDY A BETTER PLACE" When us users was doing that and was already trying(; . Now some schools already started and here we're with barely any helpers when BRAINLY have about a million helpers(sarcasm)-.-

Answer 7

^^\(\color{white}{dang! ~

Answer 8

There is no point. They sold OS for fun.

Answer 9

OML

Answer 10

There are plenty of helpers still on OpenStudy.

Answer 11

Sure there is if you're talking about maybe 20?

Answer 12

Other then that there's barely any helpers.

Answer 13

There are more than 20. What numbers are you comparing it to?

Answer 14

What subjects are you taking about?

Answer 15

Compare Openstudy from last year to this year?

Answer 16

All subjects

Answer 17

Do you have any actual statistics or are you doing guess work here?

Answer 18

Are you?

Answer 19

We have 1 or 2 helpers for each subject

Answer 20

Lies. LOL

Answer 21

Nah.

Answer 22

How many helpers do you need? A couple thousand? We don't even have that many askers asking questions at the same time.

Answer 23

Yeah cause the site it self is dying

Answer 24

So you expect a couple thousand helpers?

And let's define a helper. How many questions should a person answer to be considered a helper?

Answer 25

Helpers can be any lvl

Answer 26

And no we don't need a couple thousand helpers

Answer 27

I'm not talking about level. (Also do note that we don't have levels here. We have SmartScore.)

I'm talking about questions answered. How many questions should a person have to answer to be considered a helper?

Answer 28

SmartScore= lvl

Answer 29

You still need exp for your "SmartScore"

Answer 30

You're bringing level from another site and trying to call it the same as our SmartScore system. LOL.

Answer 31

No.

Answer 32

You're talking bout a name.

Answer 33

But that's besides the point.

How many helpers do you expect in each subject? Even our dead subjects like UCLA Photography and others?

Answer 34

Each subject should at least have 60 helpers or more.

Answer 35

have*

Answer 36

Can you tell me of any site that has 60 helpers per subject? I can't seem to find any.

Answer 37

Brainly for example

Answer 38

They get new helpers everyday

Answer 39

Well, now you need to define what makes someone a helper.

How many questions does a person need to answer to be considered a helper?

Answer 40

Someone that mainly answer questions

Answer 41

Or someone that help

Answer 42

The many "helpers" they gain might answer one or two questions and then never return to the site.

"Mainly answers questions" is very vague. And in that case, we only have like maybe a maximum of 50 ACTIVE helpers across all subjects. NOT in each subject.

Answer 43

Making very vague statements for your very specific claim that just doesn't go together.

Answer 44

50 what a shame

Answer 45

The point is why did Brainly buy OS to make it a better place when the place gets worse and worse

Answer 46

How is it getting worse?

You're just making random claims with vague statements and no actual evidence to back it up.

Answer 47

So we really need a genius to figure this out?

Answer 48

There is nothing to figure out :P

Answer 49

This aint rocket science

Answer 50

You're making claims, and when I ask you to explain what you're talking about, you fail to explain.

:P

Answer 51

No.

Answer 52

I wouldn't dare explain that to someone that see's OS is struggling

Answer 53

You've been on here longer then me and still fail to realize that OS is slowly dying.

Answer 54

Once again...

Explain what?

And "see's? An apostrophe in see? What?

Answer 55

Oh so you wanna act smart now?

Answer 56

You can see a miss spelled word but can't see OS dying LMAO

Answer 57

Like seriously?

Answer 58

Now i see why you named yourself "TheSmartOne"

Answer 59

Cause you are really smart(sarcasm)

Answer 60

There is no such thing as a site dying. It's not a living thing. It can't die.

Also, it's not called dying. It's traffic is decreasing. Sure, we might not be getting as many new sign-ups as we once used to, but we have had times like that too. The primary reason is students are in summer break and most kids don't take summer classes. And they enjoy their summer. They return to OS once school starts again.

Answer 61

When it depends on what you mean by saying dying.

Answer 62

Is the site dying?

Answer 63

School already started

Answer 64

Maybe not for you.

Answer 65

But school has started.

Answer 66

Not for me.

First day of school is August 22nd. And that's for many schools. Including online schools that I know, and local schools and universities around me.

Answer 67

Keyword "Many schools"

Answer 68

lies

Answer 69

Thats only for some schools.

Answer 70

It might not be exactly that day, but it will be plus or minus a week

Answer 71

Openstudy is worldwide right?

Answer 72

mhmm, yes, but a majority of the students are from US.

http://www.connectionsacademy.com/blog/posts/2014-07-15/Mark-Your-Calendar-for-Back-to-School.aspx

None of their schools have started.

http://gca.k12.com/community-events/academic-calendar.html
http://wava.k12.com/community-events/academic-calendar.html
http://lavca.k12.com/community-events/academic-calendar.html

None of them have started school yet.

https://www.flvs.net/student-resources/calendar

Haven't started school yet either


Most of our userbase is online schools. And you happen to go to an unfortunate school that starts very very early compared to the rest of the country. (:

Answer 73

Are you really talking bout one country?LMAO

Answer 74

Most of the OpenStudy userbase is from America.

The rest of the world has different timings and they come online at different times. However, at the night time (America night time), you don't see that many people either :P

Answer 75

So you telling me OS is much better from last year?

Answer 76

Last summer didn't even look like this

Answer 77

Now you wanna bring up summer time is the reason?

Answer 78

http://prntscr.com/c17qzy

Now this is for OpenStudy: http://prntscr.com/c17raf
For Brainly: http://prntscr.com/c17rtn

You need to use some facts to back up your pointles arguments.

Answer 79

See that right there is lies -.-

Answer 80

We can see it.

Answer 81

Brainly right now is way better than OS when it come down to users

Answer 82

Now can show me how many users on Brainly right now?

Answer 83

and also show me OpenStudy?

Answer 84

Then if you can show me that without edits i'll delete this post and never bring OS or Brainly back up

Answer 85

Brainly's usercount is inflated because they create bots to ask one question and then the bots never log back in.

Answer 86

Besides you really have no prove that could have been something from last year ^^^^

Answer 87

what could have been from the last year?

Answer 88

All those links.

Answer 89

The traffic overviews are for the last 6 months

Answer 90

Well 6 months ago OS was doing ok

Answer 91

I wanna see last 3-2 months

Answer 92

Not 6 -.-

Answer 93

I'll give you a chance to continue your editing. (B

Answer 94

Not editing at all. This is public information.

Answer 95

Sureeeeee

Answer 96

http://prnt.sc/c17qv2 this link shows that os has progressed more than brainly and if that is true there must not arise any need to sell off os to a weaker website.. Ig those are the stats from 2k13?

Answer 97

LMAO

Answer 98

that's the websites own ranking, not sure how they calculate it /shrug

but if Brainly saw that OS was growing, they would have want to bought it because Brainly also wants to grow and expand and OS is competition. OS unfortunately had some problems even tho it was growing, and Brainly seized the opportunity
