Upvotes higher than views? Considering how many lurkers there are? Considering even people who engage with a post don’t necessarily upvoter? They said 8k views, 12k upvotes. Even if those numbers are reverse, that’s an insane engagement ratio.
Comment on Got Banned for Fixing Roku — The Paul Blart Mod Chronicles
REDACTED@infosec.pub 1 day agoWhy? A lot of people are looking for fixes. Not many actually engage by upvoting or commenting. Seen that plenty of times on tech/help related subs

Where do you see 12k? The comment above does not say 12k, it says 12

Okay let’s compare this to other platforms like YT for a second, where videos usually have a 10-100 views : 1 upvote ratio.
Reddit should have similar numbers, but this post has a 700 views/upvote ratio. This way too high and smells extremly fishy.

You’re comparing platforms’s average to something pretty specific. What do you think is the ratio for videos like “How to install Windows 10”?

Just looked at the forst 3 videos I got and the ratio is pretty much 50-100views/upvote lol

Now, for the next task, tell me the ratio for engageable content creators like Veritasium.
Do tell me when you realize the difference between actual content and help videos when it comes to engagement is somewhere around 10x. Music videos might be even higher, but not entirely sure since one user can generate 10 views.
