The opening was off-putting to me. I think a shorter post with the details placed in a linked separate post marked as appendix would get more engagement.
Also, bold and caps text is off-putting.
But as of the time I checked it had 32 upvotes, which is pretty good. I usually think of less than 10 meaning nobody cares, but 10 − 20 is ok, and more than 20 is pretty good. Only really popular posts are above 50 generally.
Yeah, maybe I’ll amend my comment above—after some help from the Manifold team I’ve gotten enough interest/engagement on my markets that I’m not as worried anymore—except maybe the LSD microdosing one, which is honestly a steal. (At the time my markets were pretty barren in terms of engagement, which was my main optimization target).
I dunno about the upvote count though, twoposts about the results of self-experiments have been pretty popular (if anyone wants a way to farm LW karma, that’d be a way to do it…)
I think this endeavour is much cooler than ~most of my past posts, and not particularly complicated (I understand why the posts in this sequence aren’t very upvoted, since people justifiedly just want to upvote what they’ve read and evaluated), so I was confused.
