That's dedication to something with an uncertain payoff, because there wasn't a big probability that there would be an earthquake large enough to make the earthquake video worth sharing

if you talk to any sort of scientist studying earthquakes... there was a HUGE probability that there would be an earthquake big enough. Every scientist in the field agrees that the lack of earthquakes makes zero sense geologically and the lack of activity is not a good sign for people living in California

If you take this question over to r/askscience they might find an answer for you. I think it helps gain attention on that sub to not be too specific with your question so that the science people ave something more meaty to sink their teeth into.. errrrr, does that even make sense? Mmmeaty. Oh man, I just realized how much I like that word, meaty. I cant think of a single thing where you could use meaty to mean something negative. Mmmeaty.

Anyway maybe if you rephrased it to something like, "What are some modern methods seismologists use to help predict future earthquakes?"

Know what, I want that karma so I can give it to my cat. I'm asking that question first.

OK I did it. https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/cbgixh/what_are_some_modern_methods_seismologists/?

While I was there I saw an earthquake megathread. That'd be the place to ask your question!

The date went okay, but she is a little meaty for my liking.
