This or That prompts work because they lower the barrier to participation. Members do not have to think too hard or worry about long answers—just pick a side and share! This format is playful and non-intimidating, making it easy for everyone, from lurkers to top contributors, to jump in.
The contrasting options also create instant curiosity and conversation. When someone sees a simple choice, they naturally want to compare their answer with others. This builds connection, reveals personalities, and can even spark friendly debates, all while keeping the tone positive and inclusive.
