    the opposite of what the site wants.

Not necessarily true. This website isn't about building the biggest userbase. We're not karma or pageview-count-whores. This website could cap out at 300 people and as long as they were the right 300 people, no one would give another damn about the topic.

Hubski isn't about numbers. It's about the right people having interesting, thought-provoking discussions about topics that are worth it. It's about people sharing 10-page-long articles because fuck it, I really want to read about the history of shipping pallets. It's not a website that is designed to appeal to everyone and for chrissakes I hope it never does.

New users who leave because "they aren't getting enough attention" are the wrong type of user.

Just curious, how many new follows have you gotten today, kleinbl00 ?
