How would you gauge someone's popularity on SW?

Sadly, we're all seperated into cliques, but I don't view anyone here as popular. Anyone who thinks they are, needs a reality check. Idk what it is that excites these people so much about their profile views either...

Profile views are generated by controversy, using your real pic as a female or saying provacative things.

Comments on a post could be for all those reasons I've mentioned...

I think people get popular here by posting a lot, being here often and hopefully being kind people.

I don't think it's profile views; I think it's how frequently you post that gets you "known" here. How well in all honesty, do we really "know " people here, though?

I think it is in how everything about them is noticed and how fast. Or how many people and how many times they get mentioned by others. Or they just have to make a small request and many people rush to help.
To me these are popular people because they are in demand by many.

I don't know what makes someone popular. Some people are just liked enmasse.

I have no idea. There are people I enjoy seeing here more than others. Yes, I think so. Some people are more visible here than others too.

I don't care for anyone's popularity around here. All that matters is how they behave themselves towards me and other members here. For the same reason I have hidden all my counters, it's simply not interesting, or shouldn't be to decide how "popular" I should be someone individually.

All of the above, I think, although some of the profile views could be people who just viewed their profile so they could block the person.

I think first the number of followers, and then the number of people who respond to their posts, and how kind most of those people are to them.

Oh, and one more thing. When someone mentions them in a post, do they mention them in a positive way, or in a negative way? There's a group called "I Want to Pay Tribute," in which you can mention someone you particularly admire or like here. Who gets mentioned in those posts? And who gets called out in a negative way? Those people are probably less popular.

I have often found this idea of being popular on an anonymous site filled with anonymous people as a silly concept. That being said, I would judge popularity based on how many replies people get on their posts. I would say popularity should be judged on the one following criteria: If you comment on their post and end up turning off notifications on the post, because so many people are commenting - that person is popular lol. Personally I want to be as unknown as possible, as it seems that the more popular you are perceived to be, the more harassment you get.

I have never given it any thought...I wouldnt put it down to profile views though, because fact is if I put pics of my naked body I am going to have my views soar - does that make me popular - nope.

No clue. I just think people do the site their way. Some of my favorite folks hardly ever post anything on their page but they play my song or word games with me or we talk in PM. They are popular with me but maybe not overall.

I don't gauge it, we are all equal here in my opinion

I'm of the opinion that this kind of talk is nonsense 🤷‍♀️

I think everyone has their own view of who’s popular and who isn’t but to me it’s the people whose names are always mentioned in “who’s the most X” posts and/or who gets the most comments/replies on their posts *and* on other people’s. Profile views just mean someone is around a lot or they’re controversial so to me it’s more a gauge of being recognized than being popular.

In the long run, though, I wish people cared more about who is kind and a good friend than who is popular 🤷‍♀️

Profile views, amount of comments the user receives on posts, number of Friends/Followers combined

I feel that if many people know you then that doesn't mean popularity, they might know you for being a jerk or a troll so it's hard to gauge what popularity is.

How active they are and the responses they get.

I think well known is probably a better term than popular for my mental formula.

I think the best way to measure it is:

How many people regularly check on your profile to see what you asked when they were away?

I wouldn’t know, I don’t keep track of it..

It really doesn't even matter to me at all. I just like joking around.

The number of people who crush on you

I think higher profile views ( over 1000) is more of a credibility issue . If someone has made posts , interacts , and is nice ... what else is there ?

By their kind words!

I have an idea how we can find an answer to that, but I haven't mentioned it to the admin yet.

Those who are popular engage people, don't act like lady's and gentlemen and show body parts

Maybe by how much they post or reputation I guess.

Comments and hearts.

It would be a mixture, profile views, followers, gifts, number of people they message with....but do people really care about it?
