“Saw it”
Number 11 on yesterday’s post, How to lose more readers said:
“Wanna play a game? If you read all the way through this swill, please add “saw it” to your reply. I’ll write a post about the percentage compared to those who simply pushed the like button.”
DISCLAIMER: This is a fun exercise and based on no scientific principle whatsoever.
Did I mention that I’m terrible at math?
At three o’clock in the morning, there were 34 likes.
7 out of 34 added “saw it” to their reply, although I know the 11 people who replied actually read the entire post, too.
So, like Schrodinger’s question, that can be answered by anyone who has ever been owned by a cat…
…the answer is:
I’m flattered that between 20 – 30% of the people who push the “like” button clawed their way out of the box actually read the post.
Don’t you just love 3 am sadistics statistics?
Ha ha 😂😂😂 LOL loved it, look at the expression of the cat, the killer expression 😜😜😜 can’t stop laughing at it, love cats 😍 that’s an interesting fun statistics ✨✍️ l loved it 😉👍

I saw references to maths and numbers, and now I’m scared.

No worries. I’m not a math person, either. 🙂

Yes, sorting between “likes” vs. “reads” can do that to you. And there are folks like me who having read the post, don’t always follow instructions (in defense that’s likely the non-conformist in me) or just forgot to add the “Saw it” tag. 😦

That’s why I said 20 – 30%. I was including people who didn’t write “saw it” but had obviously read through the entire thing. 🙂

Did read it, but didn’t post “Saw it”. Living with chronic illness means I can’t always comment on things I like, but I do read them. I’ve always sort of liked leaving a little pictorial sign.

I came to the same conclusion without launching an experiment. Who needs Math when one has gut?

I have a gut like that, too. It’s when I do the math that I generally mess up. 🙂

Saw it! Sorry, I’m kind of a lurker because I never respond to very many of the blogs I read. I just don’t have anything special to say.

There are times the same thing happens to me, too.
Sometimes, I’ll write a couple words like “good post” or do the 🙂 thing without any other comments.
Other times, I’m overly wordy. How it’s taken depends upon the blogger.

I always read the whole post! I don’t always remember what I read, though. LOL

I have the same problem with remembering what I read. It’s better remembered if it is spoken to me. 🙂
