I asked dang once and he said like 1% of visitors comment.

0 comments

I had assumed that the majority of accounts are created when the owner first wants to write a comment (or post a submission).

I wonder whether dang meant 1% of registered visitors, or 1% of visitors.

I remember originally registering in order to upvote, not to comment or submit. I'm not sure how common that is but it is a much less scary way to begin to contribute.

IIRC it was the latter.

I'm curious what percentage responds to replies to their comments. I think it is quite high here.
