@TermMax #TermMax
I was looking at the latest TermMax streak numbers and one detail stood out.
More than 100 people have now crossed 15 consecutive days, with each one already sitting on 170,000 AP.
But the interesting part isn't the reward.
It's the rule behind it.
TermMax isn't asking users to be right every day.
The reminder is basically the opposite: accuracy doesn't matter, consistency does.
That's a surprisingly different incentive for a prediction-style system.
Most platforms reward the outcome. Pick correctly, earn more. Pick incorrectly, move on.
A streak system changes the behavior.
The goal becomes showing up every day, making a decision, and keeping the habit alive.
And the 30-day milestone makes that even more obvious: another 300,000 AP plus an exclusive badge.
Makes me wonder whether these streaks are actually measuring prediction skill...
...or simply measuring who is willing to keep participating when getting the answer right isn't guaranteed.
Maybe that's the point.
