Why do more people not vote in the answer of the day contest? Everyday it seems like very few overall points Sorry posted twice by accident?

I've noticed there are some days where more people vote than others, mostly for Weekend Editions. Maybe depends on the answers being nominated? Or lack of advertising?

Maybe many new people, or new regulars, don't get it yet? I have noticed more times than any its the Black Belts to Purple Belts who vote.

Probably too much of an effort for too little reward.

It's either Ignorance (don't know) or Apathy (don't care). If people don't know, then it might need more publicity. If people don't care, then it needs to be rewarded with a higher incentive.

There are lots of other variables, but I think that one of those two I mentioned are the most likely culprits :-).

We have something in the works that might spice up the contest a little more and bring in a few more participants! That's all I can say right now, stay tuned!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
