I scraped 116 trending Contra posts today to figure out why my posts get 10 views and others get 9,000. The biggest gap wasn't design quality. It was conversation: the top 20 posts had a median of 24 comments. Everyone else had 4. Swipe for the patterns with the real numbers, plus what I'm changing starting today. The one that surprised me most: polls were only 10% of the top 20. Which of these do you disagree with?
