I’m not sure if that’s because I am a high volume poster or because I frequently crank it to to 11 on people.
Both seem true, and neither is good for my ratio. But, tis my nature.

But seriously, I completely agree with what you said and was in the middle of a post trying to make the same point in a much less eloquent way.
- Conversational posting, posing questions, etc often doesn’t generate a lot of likes but keeps threads moving along and sparks new conversation and content.
- Posting something that is meaningful to people in a thread with low traffic won’t generate a lot of likes, but fosters community and meaningful connection.
- Posting answers to simple questions helps people, but won’t generate a lot of likes.
It’s fun data to look at, but as you said, if we started using the metric to guide posting in this forum it would descend rather quickly into who can post a new meme the fastest or photoshop trumps face onto a phallus in the most convincing fashion.

I’d be interested to see the percent of posts that got at least one like. Someone batting .800+ or .900+ is clearly doing well.
Also this stuff includes PMs right? I think discourse counts them as posts.

On that note I’m curious who gives the least hearts vs received hearts.
