Oh please. If that was true, they wouldn't have banned TheDonald, especially so close to the election. That sub drove a huge amount of traffic.

- Darmody 6y agoEverything surrounding TD subreddit was getting out of hand so they had to act to look like the good guys who care about stuff.
- belorn 6y agoIf we are talking money incentives, a community that are discussing stock investments seems more interesting for advertisement than politics. If a person are investing in stock options, it almost guarantied that they have spare money.
- llampx 6y agoThe Donald subreddit was big, but the writing was on the wall that Trump was about to lose, and /r/politics + /r/SandersforPresident + /r/AOC have always been bigger and more popular. It was a very easy decision for reddit.
- beaner 6y agoThe user count on r/thedonald was frozen as to not influence popularity, you are likely wrong about their relative size.
