> what drives the majority of lurkers that are the majority of said growth? It would be interesting to see what the demographics of lurkers are. Are these mostly older people who are not so enthralled with seeking status via likes/followers but still want to be able to minimally participate? I'd also be curious to know if the propensity to be a lurker is dependent on the platform - i.e. the work to gain status is too high for some platforms, but not for others - or if some people are generally more likely to be lurkers on all platforms.
