I think “Elaborate” would be more useful (i.e., more likely to actually induce an elaboration on the point being reacted at) if its corresponding notification was grouped not with karma updates and other reacts (which people get notified about in a batch, daily, weekly, etc.), but rather with the normal notifs like “so-and-so replied to your comment/post” or “you received a message from so-and-so”. (Probably the same for the new “Let’s make a bet!” react.)
But this would most likely require doing something somewhat inelegant and complicated to the codebase, so it may not be worth it, atm at least.

It might also work better if it’s use was rate limited, so that it was actually a costly signal.
I guess. But I would think the bigger issue is that people don’t notice.
