Okay. We’re going to test this theory, then. Since I’m on the receiving end of a dogpile, we’re going to test it empirically. Since Pete suggested one week, that’s the metric we’re going to use.
Each day, I will make ten posts into the void about:
- TTRPGs
- Doom WADs
- Novelism
- Printing equipment
- Stocks/options
I will not respond to ANY e-drama, politics, or tech sperging. At all. None. Zero. At the end of this week, we will measure the amount of engagement generated by doing this and compare it to the past week’s (starting right before this challenge begins) engagement about e-drama, politics, and tech sperging. We will expect it to generate about as much, within a generous 15% margin of error. If it doesn’t meet or exceed that level of engagement, we conclude that I was correct, and that it isn’t a NEET problem that can be solved by just posting this kind of thing hard enough, but a fediverse problem.
You must explicitly agree to these terms in order to challenge my position that it’s a fediverse, not a NEET, problem. To those who don’t, they concede my point by default. Those people are:
To convince me to actually bother doing this test, AT LEAST HALF of you must EXPLICITLY agree to it within the next hour. If less than half EXPLICITLY agree to this test within the next hour, the entire lot of you concede my point outright. This is your opportunity to show me that I’m wrong. Take it, or accept that I’m right.
I’ll return in 1hr to see how many of you agreed to these terms and how many would prefer to accept that I’m right on face value.
