Thanks for sharing these stats! What sounds even crazier to me is that at least 72% of upvotes were from people who didn't bother to click. That's assuming everyone who clicked also upvoted. So the 72% figure is probably much higher in reality.
I read this via email and thought it was useful enough to come here and click on the little heart and then realized I wouldn't have actually thought to do that if it weren't for the topic of the post. So I guess that's some evidence that here on Substack, clicks and likes are underestimating impact. But I guess Substack probably tracks opens in email, so maybe never mind. In conclusion, useful post, thank you.
