0.89 ratio of likes to posts. This means, rounded up, 9 out of every 10 posts of mine on average someone will like. This amuses me to no end, because I'm a grumpy, elitist ferret sensei astronaut that just as often finds himself on the opposing side of popular opinion as he does with them.
Oh, and if you're wondering the kinds of posts that generally warranted the most upvotes... In order of most to least:
- Guides. You get an initial burst and then over time, if it's a good guide, people will keep giving it upvotes.
- Siding with popular opinion on a controversial issue in a manner that is galvanizing or patriotic. (Group think. It's real.)
- Shitposting. Specifically, if I can gather about 5+ other people to theme our avatars and what not around something and spamming a single thread with nonsense jokes. (Ex: Sunny D thread.)
- Siding with unpopular opinion on a controversial issue in a manner that is placating to the sensibilities of the more popular side.
- Counseling people on topics that vex several individuals, in a manner that gives them an easy out. (If you tell the truth that most aspects of life are hard and you just gotta deal with it, you may even get screamed at. Leave alone upvoted at all.)
- Roleplay posts. (This fluctuates based on the group you're in. Some people spam likes on every post imaginable, some never hit likes at all. Consider this the wild card.)
- Posting something informative, but fairly dry. (Logos statements aren't popular. Pathos statements that at least sound like they have logos built into them at some level will be popular, even if they're total nonsense upon further examination.)
