comscore's numbers are notoriously lower than quantcast/google-analytics, but usually about half not 1/14th... so somethings clearly wrong there too.

- bbatsell 16y agoTo me it seems obvious that Reddit's core userbase would not be willing to install the spyware that comScore piggybacks onto to acquire its data. It doesn't surprise me in the least that Reddit is consequently under-represented in comScore's numbers.
- SpikeGronim 16y agoI do not trust comscore's numbers at all. They rely on opt-in sampling of user data. There is obvious selection bias there. Large companies will never allow such tracking software, so anybody browsing from work will never be counted. There are many other large demographics that they just plain miss. They have a history of goofing badly, for example being directionally wrong about Google's ad revenue [1]. 1. http://seekingalpha.com/article/72911-why-was-everyone-wrong-on-google http://seekingalpha.com/article/72911-why-was-everyone-wrong...
