<h2>90–9–1 Principle (1% Rule)</h2>
<p>The 90-9-1 principle suggests that within an internet community such as a wiki, 90% of participants only consume content, 9% edit or modify content and 1% of participants add content.</p>
<p>Real-world examples:</p>
<ul>
<li>A 2014 study of four digital health social networks found the top 1% created 73% of posts, the next 9% accounted for an average of ~25% and the remaining 90% accounted for an average of 2%.</li>
