These statistics were very interesting to see, and definitely not what I expected.
On average, I expected the number of "Show HN" submissions to increase dramatically, but it does not seem to be that way.
Possible reasons:
1. The "Show" section on the header bar adds too much- people want a simplistic view and the show section hasn't caught on as much as the "ask".
2. People are wary of submitting "Show HN" posts and sharing their work due to criticism
3. The guidelines set are restrictive
Personally, I think it will just take time to catch on. It would definitely be interesting to see these statistics with "Ask HN" for comparison.
