Are all users’ post/comment counts and karma available in bulk? I’d be curious what the distribution looks like. I’m also curious what my ratio is for recent comments—the fact that it’s 2.3 over more than a decade doesn’t tell me much.
I often have to argue at work against the tyranny of metrics (I more often have to argue against the ignorance of not enough metrics, but that’s not important to this point). This is a classic example of something people should probably look at and consider often, but it’s highly context- and individual-dependent whether a change is warranted.
Karma isn’t consistent nor rigorous enough to set targets for.
edit: I’m actually more curious about variance in the supply side. I vary pretty widely in how much I vote based on topic and mood, not on any unidimensional quality estimate. Showing use users their recent vote/read ratio could encourage voting.
