Say the value of threads can be represented by the equation:

f(x) = (x^2 / (x^2 - 9)) + 1

where f(x) is the number of months the thread has been open and x is the value of the thread.

The value slowly decreases after the initial opening with the asymptote of x = 3. After 3 months the value rises, but then slowly decreases. It levels off at 2.

Now say you were making money off these threads. Would you rather have many small threads at once, or wait for one to mature (assuming it doesn't get closed or forgotten)? See my point?
