Yup, for every new 100 visitors, about 10 make an account, and around 1 will post a comment or post. That ratio seems to hold from what I see

This sounds so weird to me. I would have expected a smaller, more niche community to have a higher proportion of people who create content.

Any idea what causes this ratio to be so consistent?

No, I don't know why it's so consistent. It does vary though, sometimes with more niche sites like saidit it's sometimes 150 lurkers = 10 accounts = 1 post

More people lurk than post when it's niche. But I don't know why it's basically so relatively consistent. I guess it's just a feature of human psychology on a mass-statistical level.

Lots of people don't give a crap about posting on sites. There are a bunch of sites I read with comment sections, and I'm just not interested in what they have to say. I rarely look, and definitely don't go to the trouble of creating an account to post.

Some are dumpster fires of posters, some are hugboxes where people go to get their hit of social approval, some are uninteresting, some are full of spam, you name it. There are lots of good reasons why people don't register or post.

definitely don't go to the trouble of creating an account to post.

Sites that allow anon comments have some of the best I find. The hassle of so many sites and making accounts stops most centrists that are already too busy living from posting.
