Using data to set your goals is a great way to hide your intent, but a bad way to pick useful goals. If you are tasked to go to Chicago, data telling you that Piscataway is closer does not help you.. Unless your actual goal was to go to Piscataway. One must fix in their minds their goals, first, and then seek data to enable realizing these goals... Anything else is doomed. | |

As I understand it, lots of curators visit meta at least once in a month. Maybe this apparent interaction is not so meaningful or powerful as we think? The first data saying that there are only a few active people on meta is still true I think. What seems to have changed most is the interpretation of the influence of meta. | |

That is more than what we achieved throughout the last 12 or 18 months.... Or do you disagree with that? | |
| Apr 3, 2020 at 18:39 | comment | added | NoDataDumpNoContribution | Somehow I'm not really happy with the data driven turn. Who knows, maybe some weeks in the future somebody else digs even deeper and discovers that meta isn't so important after all. How much trust can be set in data driven approaches if they say one thing on one day and another thing at another day. | |
