Clearly. I think it varies a lot by subreddit. I used to be active on quite a few subreddits, and I've witnessed their evolution as reddit becomes more mainstream. My personal opinion is that the limit seems to be about 100k subscribers on a sub before it starts becoming garbage.
- FrojoS 8y agor/spacex is now 300k and still quite good I think
- elektor 8y agoLikewise, some science and history-based subs are doing well. I think large subs need heavy moderation to work.
- Simon_says 8y agoI agree. But those threads just look like they've been nuked from orbit. I think that's what you have to do to keep the quality high. Any sub that isn't willing to delete everyone's comments is going to be dragged down.
