Anyone else amazed at the ratio of views vs replies on DU Threads? |
|
I am stunned by the number of viewd and the actual respone ratio
It is like there a hundreds of peeople out there looking at every thread but most choose not to respond.
I might look at 15 threads a sitting but I respond to about half of them. I thought I was normal....how about you?

On how much time I have (sometimes I read DU for the headlines), and whether I actually have anything to say.

3. Yup. It's quite ASTOUNDING on some threads. |
|
The RATIOS can be surprising as well.

As a longtime lurker, I spent plenty of time reading threads. Now that I'm registered, I'll probably respond when I think I have something to add.

6. I depends on whether I think I have something to say |
|
or alternatively how much blog-whoring I feel like I want to do. Sometimes both. Bryant Check it out --> http://politicalcomment.blogspot.com

I know DUers, who have been here from almost the beginning, who choose to read and seldom respond. They do come here for the information and they aren't spies. I'm not saying that there aren't those here as well.

8. I know myself..I am curious by an OP, then find it was something else so I |
|
move on. So too when I am running through latest..I don't have the time to respond to every post that interests me.

9. That's common on view counts because |
|
the counter doesn't count how many different posters looked at but how many times the page was loaded on any computer. If I view, then post then go back and view my response to make sure it came out right then it counts 2 views. And if I have to modify a mistake it might count 2 more.
On a very small board I post on it's very common to have 100 views and 9 posts because of the way the counter works.

24. right, and if you check to see if anyone answered your post.... |
|
that's another view (and often many more than once). You can use "My DU" to check, but most probably just bring the OP up again.

12. I'd guess that's about my ratio as well. |

Must be lurking freepers and other such scumbuckets. They really are obsessed with us, you know.

Unfortunately, it seems like a lot respond only when they have something negative to say.
I've noticed from my "My DU", that I can post a whole bunch of nice replies, and the only one that gets a response will be the only one where I took exception to something that was said.

17. Unlike FR we don't copy and paste the same response to 15 different threads. |

19. you have to view a thread to see if it's worth a response.... |
|
a lot of them aren't, but I get tallied in the views.

26. nope, sad, but not surprised. |
|
And, even sadder, if you notice, the contentious threads and posts get the most replies.
Say something kind, and it drops or is ignored.
It's sad, really.
