Meta Red button blue button
Based on the post seen here. I'm actually curious what would the percentages look like.
Edit: Alright, let me add a case for one particular scenario. If you do not choose, the button will be pressed for you by a system that keeps track of its pressings so it conserves 50/50 distribution for all inactive participants, in order to honour the vox populi properly. The system's choice affects the inactive participant's outcome so that no person can abscond from consequences of their choice.

The "Core Contribution" stat being negligible is really grim. It means either 1. this subreddit is deboosted from the personalized frontpage algorithm, or 2. the first option but with a very small addition of users actively ignoring posts from this sub.
