<p>I am curious about your experiences regarding the relationship between time and effort spent on preparing an answer and the number of upvotes it receives. </p>

<p>While I do not even have proper data for myself, my subjective impression is that the correlation is, while probably still positive, not strong at all. So, I sometimes get quite a few upvotes on answers that I had considered posting as comments, and sometimes see little to no reaction to answers I had put quite some effort into.</p>

<p>Am I alone with this? Are there confounders to this relationship?</p>
