I think a measure of success is how quality the content is. Even if there was only 2 people on here, If the content was good I would visit every day.
Thoughts on the quality of content thus far?
I don’t have an issue with content personally, just find if a bit confusing at times.
Back in my days we visited forums in personal home pages with about 3-4 strangers and we liked it!
I knew all 20 people on the forum I used to frequent!
Yes, but it can also be argued that the higher the number of users, the higher the chances of insightful discussions taking place. We have a reason to rejoice at this surge as more users generally means more frequent engagement with all the content here, which itself fosters further and deeper engagement.
Thats true until you introduce algorithmic recommendation.
I think part of the reason this is working for me so well, is that I'm not being encouraged to passively doom-scroll by an algo that knows exactly how to keep me just the right amount of engaged, but never satisfied.
