Engagement on social media posts is almost always quantified using extremely well-defined and narrow metrics: +1s, Shares, Likes, Re-Tweets, etc.
I tend to find that the perceived quality of the engagement on one of my posts has much more to do with the particulars than the hard numbers. I’m much more gratified by the reaction to a post when it’s a smaller number of people I really respect engaging with it than I am when it’s a sightly larger number of people I don’t know as well. It doesn’t take long before that feeling is swamped by large numbers, though. Like Napoleon said, “Quantity has a quality all its own.”
What are your thoughts? Given all of your posts and the reactions to them, where would you draw the equivalence line where fewer, known-awesome participants and more, less-well-known participants are roughly equal?

I think it’s proper to each. Some people value quality, others, volume.
We are taught in a democracy, that volume is THE way to determine representativity, so it’s counterintuitive for many that a select group may be more adequate at meeting expectations. (think of the supreme Court, for instance)
And that’s what it boils down to: choosing what kind of group we are more keen to, if not akin to.
