The annual review is an attempt to figure out what were the best contributions with the benefit of a great deal of hindsight, and I think it’s prosocial to contribute to it, similar to how it was prosocial to contribute to the LW survey back when Scott ran a big one every year.
I am always pleased when people contribute, and sometimes I am sad if there are particular users whose reviews I’d really like to read but don’t write any. But I don’t think anyone is obligated to write reviews!
