What makes a thread popular?
I've seen thousands of threads come and go, I've seen even more replies, but I can't seem to find a reason why some good threads die, while other threads of a low quality, get a thousand replies.
Even with my own threads, sometimes I think a thread is going to be popular, but it dies within 10 replies, while some of my shitposts win the day with more than 200 replies.
Anyone has an explanation for this?

3 RepliesAuthor persistence and an unpopular opinion tend to make threads popular. Post count challenges where users post nonsense over and over again succeed as well.
