I perceive an inconsistency or at least strong imbalance in the results: Almost all topics should have higher proportion or at least stay the same except for meetups (and to small degree related orgs).
Should this be correct there are the following explanations:
To make up for the increase in other topics meetup notes (despite their volume) would have to be reduced to almost zero.
Lots of other topics not covered by this poll have to be reduced (but I do not see how they could so)
The requested increase in proportion is indeed very slight.
More likely, I suspect people are reading “I would like this to be a… higher proportion” and interpreting it as “I’d like to see more of this”, ignoring the “proportion” part. A more informative poll would ask voters to rank the topics in order of wanting to see them, but LW doesn’t support that format.

People cant vote consistently.
Some combination of the above.
Something I missed.
