Absolutely. I didn't mean for my observation to come across as if it was about getting upvotes or about finding the right time to try to optimize how many a post might get. I don't care about that. I occasionally use upvote counts on jew-related posts to gauge the stance of the poal userbase toward jews. For a while things had started to get quite a reddit feel to me with regard to the type of things being posted, the posts that got upvoted, and the reddit-esque comments I would see getting posted.
This just got me to think back on those two images I shared within hours of each other. While those mere few hours difference between posting the two surely had an effect on the vast difference in upvotes that each got, I think the lack of interest in this image over the other may have had more to do with the sub I had chosen for it at that time and not as much to do with the time it was posted. Around that time there was an increase in "users" refusing to say jew and they would instead use "elites", "globalists", and other obfuscating terms to avoid naming the jew.
There also seemed to be a decrease in upvoting of anything stating the truth about jews, or the /s/jewspiracy and related subs, while at the same time I noticed an increase in the upvoting of pro-White posts as long as it didn't name the jew (edit: an increase in upvoting of pro-White posts is very good, but I found it odd how it seemed to only be pro-White posts that didn't name the jew, and ones that did name the jew did not get nearly as many).
Just odd things I've been noticing about the upvoting trends this past year, but I don't know if I am only seeing things that aren't really happening or are but don't really mean anything.
I try (TRY) to keep some division between pro-White posts and jew posts, as I believe pro-White stuff should be based on us being proud of who we are.
Most people want 'easy to digest' content. Picture with a brief title will often get more upvotes than a long post with a lot of text and info, even though those are the ones I prefer.
I do remember the time when a lot of people here were aggressively avoiding naming the jew and spreading division among White people. Lot's of users fell for the propaganda but now most of them have managed to get themselves banned, so we have less users, but almost no problem makers too. What do you think of the current situation on Poal?
I have been very busy for the past 2+ months caring for a family member that had a serious medical issue (not jew-injection-related), so I have barely been able to visit the site for that time.
While I've managed to skim most posts made during that time, and even read one or two news reports and things that others have posted, I haven't had time to keep up on comments much; I've mostly only had time to just save a few of the good pics and other things that some have posted.
Things at home are a little better and "easier" now and not so hectic and non-stop, so I'm starting to be able to read more than just post titles.
I can't speak about poal as it has been the past 2 months due to barely being around for that time, but before that time, poal seemed like it had gotten less reddit-esque than it had started to become over the previous year. A lot more comments had started to be of good quality and were worth taking the time to read.
For a while, far too many comments had become nothing but a list of barely reworded copies of the 'top comment' in the post, which itself was often just a weak attempt at saying something funny or witty. It had gotten to where I would almost never read any comments at all that seemed to be barely half a sentence long. Short comments would almost always not say anything worth reading and were just inane, low effort, valueless, weak attempts at humor or statements of the obvious and were quite bot-like. For a long time now I've ignored almost all short comments except if is was made by one or two users as even short comments by these users have value and are worth reading.
Overall, I think poal is/was doing quite well in most regards. There are noticeably fewer kikes that have managed to get in and cause problems and subvert poal, which is directly due to @AOU's still-ongoing and appreciated efforts to put measures in place to help keep kikes and their tools out.
Shekel traps work pretty well on these sewer rats.
Less votes indeed, but an increase in post views, which is a good news.
So long text post do attract more people? Good to know. I always thought upvotes were a good measure to tell user engagement.
