1/ Blogging is time-consuming, not everyone's natural skill and even more so when U engage in other apps, u have to read d full content, so those who want to perform in engagement with a better strike rate, will switch to short-form content

2/ because they can produce comments in less time and can easily up their rank in engagement which in some way going to help in getting votes.

3/ Secondly, as I said earlier average life in Hive wins, microblogging niche complements the "doctrine of average" and makes it an overarching process in the realm of social blogging.

Now I understand what you are saying. I agree and now it makes sense on why you are asking about monthly average of number of threads.

The monthly average thread count should be a key parameter in the context of engagement. U can easily identify people who are here for the long run with this metric

rather than a burst of activity. I agree.
