| Dec 20, 2017 at 17:22 | comment | added | xavier_fakerat | @beeshyams I like it when you talk about cricket :) but seriously I think there isn't much feedback in the community (in fact you've mentioned this before:. I have deleted my answer, since there was no feedback from you as requested which I do support). Also I think most users have favourite tags that they participate in and to focus mostly on these such that when a typical question comes its gets lots of attention e.g comments, upvotes etc whilst other do not easily receive as much, hence can have 10k views without even a comment. | |

At lot of people just want to use their devices, and don't want to worry about understanding the intricacies of how Android functions. On the flip side, everyone on SO has some kind of ostensible interest in how development happens. The result is that here we have a mass of users who tend to answer, and a (much much) larger mass who tend to ask. | |
| Dec 20, 2017 at 15:06 | comment | added | eldarerathis Mod | We actually had a pretty lengthy discussion about the lack of the "middle-class" here waaaay back in 2011. It's been a difficult problem to cope with, and one that (I believe) is exacerbated a bit by the fact that there tends to be a pretty big imbalance when it comes to end-user type problems. Unlike SO which is (in theory, at least) devs helping devs, we tend to be "power users" helping "casual users"... | |
| Dec 20, 2017 at 14:49 | comment | added | beeshyams | +1 for analysis and articulation. I too often felt it is the (few) regulars . For some reason our middle order (to use a cricketing term) is weak. I my be wrong, but I noticed that even first time users seem to less often returning to check | |
| Dec 20, 2017 at 14:06 | comment | added | Grimoire | If we lack curious people who like to experiment and find answers by themselves, I reckon that answering questions will fall on our shoulders, pal. | |
| Dec 20, 2017 at 14:05 | comment | added | Grimoire | I can't find the article as of now, but this reminds me of a 10k rep person who left StackOverflow back in the day, complaining (among other things) that earning reputation was too trivial. | |
| Dec 20, 2017 at 1:15 | comment | added | iBug | You know how much effort I spent before my rep on SO surpassed that here? One single month of half the activity earned me 3.5k on SO, despute the fact that I have written more bad answers there. | |

| Dec 20, 2017 at 1:12 | comment | added | iBug | I started my activity on SE on this site, but the flagship site, Stack Overflow, is way too active, and earning reputation and learning new stuff is moderately easy and fast there. | |
| Dec 20, 2017 at 1:08 | comment | added | iBug | I must admit, that other Android sites are also in a similar problem, according ti my observation. Like XDA, Android Central, the Android part of Reddit, etc. The best among them is XDA, because new developers are born every day, so they can maintain a stable growth of user activity. Reddit and Android Central are very similar to us, with new users coming and asking every day. | |
