    Literally any sub with more than a dozen users had an extreme disparity between user count and vote counts 😂

    Not to mention the polls were all gone not long after they closed on most subs. Doesn’t take a genius to figure out why.

      I mean, going by the 90/9/1 rule, it’s not unnatural if only 10% of users or less showed up to vote. Hell, if only 1% voted I won’t be surprised either.

        The subreddit I moderate has had a poll going for the last 2.5 days.

        • 1390 members.
        • 75 poll respondents (5% of members)
        • 7 commenters (0.5% of members)

        It’s a disappointing turnout. Also, I’m one of those poll respondents and commenters. (If you remind me, I’ll post a link to the poll once it closes in 8 hours.)

          I’ve had one going for 3 days now, 2k members, 160 votes and 7 comments. I was pretty surprised to see even 160 votes, its a vote for blocking a certain type of post that has been spammed recently and doesn’t contribute much.
