| Sep 5, 2013 at 18:45 | comment | added | fileunderwater | The voting patterns on different topics is an important point. In my experience, my answers that lie closer to my own work and ones I put most effort into receive relatively few votes. "Softer" answers in popular science topics ('I saw this weird thing... how does that work?') get more votes. Even if it is not important per se (votes that is), it can be frustrating, since higher effort to answer specialized questions does not translate to higher payoff. The obvious reason is that fewer people understand or find specialized answers interesting, but this will not encourage higher-level answers. | |

As new users join, they will hopefully have a little scan through the unanswered questions (as some users have) to see if there's any they can answer. The catch it getting the new users, who will be attracted by the good questions and answers, which are coming but will take time. | |
