I don't believe I have ever made a poll post, but I have participated in plenty. It's usually for fun, and I'll often leave a wiseass remark (nice try, fed) rather than choose a poll option.
Just anecdotally, they don't seem to gather many responses or relevant replies, but I don't focus on them as a rule, so I may have missed many good ones.
The reason I'm asking is that I am planning to start crowd sourcing content to highlight in my ~bitcoinbeginners territory. Some of you may already be aware of my little reward system that I'm trying out to attract good posts. I also want a way to get opinions on content to highlight. I'll probably include more details in a later post. I'm considering polling posts as one tool.
I'm wondering if our data guru, @davidw, has any information on polling posts and how they typically perform overall, through zaps, replies, etc. I also know that @jimmysong uses them extensively, so I would certainly welcome his opinion.
Thanks for any input.
