Interesting, I am not very good at math or programming but I do have a ton of experience blogging. One thing I know for sure is that as a platform matures we need to produce better content to rise above the rest.
In the beginning people are very excited but over time they find their tribes and settle down. Over time people will also naturally engage less.
All of this has very little to do with Math or programming but rather good old fashioned human nature. Thanks for the post it really made me think.
