Oh yeah. The exponential increase has to be from more people. Cant expect the top 10 to keep adding 25% on a weekly basis. That simply is impossible.

I have seen many new faces in the last two days, they will definitely bring more engagement and it will become more diverse, and more fluid. Interesting days ahead.
Yeah. It simply becomes a numbers game. If each new person adds 10 thread per day. that is an extra 500 with 50 new people, or 3500 per week. That is how things explode.
Plus the 3500 will generate responses so it will net out 10K.
That will automatically keep on expanding the network, and as a result the network effect will be much more stronger and pervasive.
That is my view. Not sure how many we need to get it to kick off. That is how exponential works. Get 3500 more organic threads and then we have comments, might be 15K overall. Either way, it keeps going.
Yes, and I am sure the rank #20 to #50 can shake at any time and dramatically turn the table even if they start today, it just needs two or three dedicated threading day full time.
I think it important to get the numbers up and promote it. Gamification is real and people get excited by the silliest things. It is how we are wired it seems.
Might as well take advantage of that.
That will always be at the helm of threading. That is why I have advocated for a weighted average, which is a more accurate way to gauge the threader's engagement. I hope next time they will consider it.
Well over a long enough period, the true numbers end up weighted. One can play with things a bit for a day or two but a month, the numbers dont lie.
Yeah, it's not an errand for those who tend to gamify every single day. That will go bust and at some point, they will also find it boring when they don't find it worthwhile to earn rewards.
By gamifying I mean trying to make activity fun. People respond to numbers (we are evidence of that).
But to expect people to try to manipulate things over 30 days, that requires consistency which people tend not to have.
True. The length of our engagement is almost like a filter in itself.
