RE: Questions by data: What are the most social #categories? [OC]
Pretty interesting results! Especially the comment-depth in my opinion. Some are quite obvious, like #news having a really low depth and #philosophy having a (somewhat) large one (even though I expected #philosophy to have a larger depth). But it's really surprising that all the technology related stuff like #technology, #crypto and #blockchain have such a low comment-depth. I wonder what's the cause for that.
I have seen a lack of interest in specific technology/science posts and it makes me sad. I loved /r/futurology and other tech forums on reddit. I don't spend much time on reddit anymore because of steemit and I just wish there was more options.
Guess we gotta grow Steem first or take the reins ourselves!
Glad you enjoyed the read :). It is strange. Perhaps #technology is more similar to #news in some ways? Also in #crypto there is a lot of quick-paced trading advice and investment advice going on. #blockchain surprises me too :/
Might be, but I'd say #technology is as newslike as #politics, which has quite a large depth. But maybe #technology stuff is just a bit more quick-paced in general. It could be interesting to watch this over time, to see if anything changes.
yeah it would be interesting! and I'm sure it will. The categories on steemit are so biased toward the crypto-world still, and I think as it matures, the other categories will gain popularity at an increased rate. I wonder how "social" they will be though!
Perfect for a follow-up post. :P
That’s right!
