    I got this metric by getting all questions on MSE that contains specific keywords, grabbing post view count from that, and dividing it by upvote-downvote ratio. Sorry, I positively suck at stats, can you explain what it is supposed to demonstrate in clearer terms? Could you also elaborate on the three paragraphs above your last horizontal rule? I cannot make any sense of them. Commented Nov 4, 2019 at 20:33
  • @FrédéricHamidi, no problem, would you like it in comment or to edit the post? Commented Nov 4, 2019 at 20:35

    Y'know, making an ad hominem attack on people you don't like, using a specious argument, doesn't engender support. That sort of negates any point you might have with this. It sounds more like sour grapes than a legitimate argument. Commented Nov 4, 2019 at 20:38
  • @fbueckert I don't. You have misunderstood the answer. Commented Nov 4, 2019 at 21:07
  • @FrédéricHamidi how is this? Commented Nov 4, 2019 at 21:07

    You've edited out the attack, so that's good, at least. Commented Nov 4, 2019 at 21:15
  • @fbueckert I didn't attack anyone, maybe it was parsed poorly, but I am open to any questions and suggested edits. Please don't make me a bad guy without an clear intent and reason. Commented Nov 4, 2019 at 21:16

    @Danilo, better I guess. But I think you're reading too much in that curve. From your query you're only matching hostile, polite and nicer to new in question titles. A couple of search queries reveal there's a whopping 285 matching questions here on MSE. That's a very small sample. Commented Nov 4, 2019 at 21:16
  • @FrédéricHamidi I fully understand that, and with more data the curve would be clearer (or even relevant). I have tried to make query with more keywords, and searching bodies of posts also but SEDE broke on me bunch of times. But I still do find some value in those keywords, since some of the latest questions are referencing Jeffs post about "Be Polite" policy so reuse of those wording can give me somewhat accurate result. On other hand, do I think I am right? I don't know, time will tell. Commented Nov 4, 2019 at 21:21
  • But I do see a lot of seemingly non related issues coming up, and there are a lot of topics that are active in the same time for it not to be correlative. Also, albeit the number of such titles is small, it does seem logical to me that such topics would be in 250-500 (at most 1k) range on MSE only. Commented Nov 4, 2019 at 21:22
