All makes sense! But I still think it will be very challenging to get people into the habit of going to Throw when it's not geared towards a specific topic.
I think people aren't wired to think "Oh I have a question, let's go to a Q&A site". I think they are much more likely to think "I have a question about $topic. Let's go to a $topic site"
Similarly when someone does happen to come across Throw randomly (like me right now), it doesn't necessarily immediately resonate or is mentally bookmarked because it doesn't feel relevant yet. Whereas if I would randomly come across a site that's about a topic I'm interested in, then I might (mentally) bookmark it.
I believe if you start out within a specific niche it will be easier to expand from there, rather than when you start off very broadly.

Thanks again for the insightful feedback Marc! It certainly helps!
