I wish they had shared with users how many of their answers/questions/comments were copied from. Views are aplenty but maybe one in a dozen, perhaps one in a hundred of the readers that found it useful actually upvote. I might even link an answer to friends, they express having found it interesting or useful, but no upvote comes in. Not enough karma is often a reason, but also most just don't habitually upvote useful posts and are not usually logged in.
I'd love to know how many people make use of my answers, and while there are per-page view counts, of course a view doesn't mean I really helped someone. Number of copies during these two weeks would have been very nice to get as a statistic!
- corobo 6y agoDon't you have to be above a certain score or something to upvote? I remember something about that when I tried once and haven't bothered logging back in since as I didn't have the clout to do anything of value E: I am sorry, you mentioned that but I dived into a reply so fast I missed it. Aye the karma thing they have there really discourages (or at least it did for me) participation. I'm working on the thing that brought me to SO in the first place I'm not spending time building up karma on a dying website to upvote haha.
- lucb1e 6y agoFor what it's worth, if you click it but don't have enough karma, it is recorded and high-rep users can see how often people tried to up/downvote something and compare it to the actual votes. But the screen (I have enough rep to see it) seems to be more of a gimmick than actually used by anyone.
