What is the cumulative number of hours for 2021 so far?
CEA uses a goal year which starts October 1, i.e. we have just started our 2022 year. The above post was about our prior goal year October 1, 2020-October 1, 2021, which is roughly YTD Calendar year 2021.
We have had 12,000 hours of engagement so far in goal year 2022:
Do you have the figures spent in the EA Wiki specifically?
Between October 1, 2020 and October 1, 2021, these pages received 65,000 views and 1,800 hrs.
I imagine that there is some way to know when someone is just leaving a tab open for a while, but can you elaborate on how you deal with that?
We use document.hidden and document.visibilityState to determine if the tab is open but not visible, and use mouse move, keypress, and scroll events to determine if the tab is open but idle. Relevant code is here.
Relatedly, what is engagement driven by? By a few users who use it a lot, or by very many users who use it a little?
Relative to most online content platforms, I think we have a small but dedicated audience. (E.g. because many platforms rely on their posts randomly going viral on social media, whereas this does not tend to be the source of very much engagement for us.) So I think the direct answer to your question is “a few users who use it a lot”, at least relative to something like BuzzFeed.
Here’s the PDF of how much time users spent engaging over the past month:
This would look like a negative sloping line for most sites, but you can see it’s relatively flat for us.
Thanks Nuno!
