The experiment

I am thinking for some weeks now what is the deciding factor of what posts will be read or stir interest of Steemians. The number in parenthesis (reputation) is for sure one of the most important indicators if it is worth looking at the post.

However, I believe that there is more. The short message in the headline and the first sentence are crucial in my opinon. What do you think? Is that the reason why you ended reading this post?

Yes, I'm also very curious and would like to hear your opinion on the importance of catcy headlines.

UPDATE:
The situation after 10 hours: Not a single Steemian stopped to read this post, which is great!!! I'm so happy for that result, since it shows that everyone hates spammers and no sense posts. :)
