Does asking a lot of questions on Answerbag make the asker popular? If not are they deluding themselves in thinking they are popular?

I don't think it's done for reasons of popularity, each person asks questions for their own reasons, Jenny asks them to keep the site going, and as not to keep bumping old questions, also as a challenge for herself, to reach a certain number, I do it in order to see people's standpoints, often on current world events, philosophy or other reasons. Stevo has his reasons, often also about current events or personal. You often post questions more personal to you around communication and purpose. Hence, I can't see a "one" reason to post, but I may be wrong.

Jenny The Great ⭐ 10/1/2024, yep, thumbs up for a good answer. I remember a time when I was rarely asking questions, and just answering a bunch of old questions, specifically Nunya's questions who has 1035 questions asked: https://www.answerbag.com/profile/-nunya- Then some users were complaining, asking, Why are old questions getting bumped to the Answerbag homepage? And if they deserved more answers? The next thing you know, I decided to ask numerous questions, and now certain users do not appreciate it. We can't please everyone, so once I reach my mark, someone else will have to step up in asking the questions. If no one steps up, this site is dead. It could be DancesWithWolves getting back on track from his time off on this site, maybe bostjan who was on a roll for a moment or perhaps you, Creamcrackered. ;) -

Shadow Of The Mind Creamcrackered, my question is not a personal question but I see where you are coming from with your answer. -
Jenny The Great ⭐ dalcocono, 10/2/2024, many things were happening with me last month, from traveling, a business meeting and a lot of fun in The Sunshine State. The month of September has become unforgettable to me. I had left Florida, just before Hurricane Helene made landfall. It's been a few days that I have returned to my normal routines. So thanks to the Answerbag edit feature and revising of questions, answers and comments, I was eventually going to come back to this thread for any corrections.

Jenny The Great ⭐ Creamcrackered, I don't see what asking a lot of questions make the asker popular. Many users like to stir the pot. I like it when they do, as it's good for entertainment. To further touch on the question, Linda Joy has asked 3392 questions and has 66 followers: https://www.answerbag.com/profile/linda-joy I have 10 followers. I'm not as popular as others make it seem. You really couldn't have said it better why everyone has their own reasons for asking questions.

Definitely well known, maybe popular. The thing is, any one of us can do the same thing if we want to. It just requires dedicating the time to the site to do it. 10/1/24

It sounds like you had a lovely month of September, with the good fortune to avoid Helene. -

Yes. States affected by the hurricane are Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee. So far on this day of 10/4/2024, 220+ people have died and hundreds remain unaccounted for. -

I have a friend who is in Tampa right now. She said they didn't even lose power there. One of the kids is living in GA now, up near the TN border, and she said they got lots of wind and rain, but nothing devastating like in NC. -

10/10/2024, in just a little over a week, I'm back on the subject asked. Hurricane Milton knocked out power to more than 3 million customers, flooded barrier islands, tore the roof off homes, including Tropicana Field that is home to the Tampa Bay Rays.

better than recycling old questions. I never thought of answerbag as a popularity contest.
