How do you wrestle with the importance of being data-driven/tracking progress for community health <> not potentially run the mistake of optimizing for the wrong thing in community ?

Seen this dynamic a few times, curious if anyone has any opinions.

I think it comes down to talking to your community about it — along the lines of “hey guys, we’re seeing a lot of activity in X and would love to support it”.

They might not get it 100%, but they’ll tell you whether it’s worth optimizing in their own words.

Yep! Community to me is all about the members, so their sentiment is always most valuable

gotcha, so sort of taking intuitive conclusions from information/data & getting community-approval or sentiment before implementing? 

Let me know if my assumption was off, want to make sure I get what you mean haha.
