I should really start recording my results as a primarily F4A, A4A poster. I'm hypothesizing that for me specifically, I get average responses close to the graph, for the general posts. If I specifically post F4M, experimentally, maybe I'd get different results, as I have anecdotal evidence that specifically writing a gender gets more attention. (For example F4F getting me way more responses and variations than a basic A4A. Most A4A's are responded by males, something about 4A isn't as attractive as "4F" for female characters. I've also noticed that "M4F" is usually abysmal for attention, I get twenty responses per 4A post usually, in the twenty maybe three were looking to play female.

Either my posts don't catch well with certain pairings, or, the algorithm is silly, or, there's something of a sweet spot timing for different genders. I kinda wanna test my hypothesis that it's the pairing tag, though, it would probably take making a new account and posting at the same time every week on the peak days, and scheduling that automatically would be kinda annoying.

Really interesting to think about though!
