You make a joke of it but there's truth lurking there - what's the impetus for engaging with the site? I just checked. I'm 7 of the last 30 posts that I can see and I've been busy this week. What do I get from sharing? What risks do I run? Why post shit here rather than Facebook? Why post shit here rather than Medium? Why post shit here rather than Reddit? I post here because there is a core group of people whose opinions I'm curious about. I presume that core group will attract like-minded people. It's not really anymore, it did occasionally. And I think that's key: if you get into a fight here, it's with someone whose opinion you care about a whole lot more than someone on Reddit. The engagement is a great deal higher even as the activity is much lower.
