The top 20% of posters here make up 80% of the posts (plot below).
Also known as the Pareto Principle. I haven't looked yet but I fully expect the 1% rule to more or less hold up as well.
I don't think it'll come as a surprise to anyone but I became curious after someone pointed out the large fraction of posts Wincel alone is responsible for. Honestly, it feels even more lopsided than it actually is, lol.
Plot of posts vs percentage of users. Read as "the top X% of posters make up Y% of all posts."

In Internet culture, the 1% rule is a general rule of thumb pertaining to participation in an Internet community, stating that only 1% of the users of a website actively create new content, while the other 99% of the participants only lurk. Variants include the 1–9–90 rule (sometimes 90–9–1 principle or the 89:10:1 ratio),[1] which states that in a collaborative website such as a wiki, 90% of the participants of a community only consume content, 9% of the participants change or update content, and 1% of the participants add content.
Similar rules are known in information science; for instance, the 80/20 rule known as the Pareto principle states that 20 percent of a group will produce 80 percent of the activity, regardless of how the activity is defined.
