- asdff 6y agoIt is striking how just about any subreddit is several orders of magnitude larger than their average engagement. It's seemingly no matter the size and affects huge and tiny subeditors. I guess there really are that many bot accounts on reddit.
- bradlys 6y agoMany people (including myself) will just not post. If you want to see what’s going on with a subreddit in your feed, you have to subscribe/join it. You can manually visit all your favorite subreddits but that can be very tedious and doesn’t fit the “news feed” type of behavior that people want to use.
- stjohnswarts 6y agoAbout 95% of reddit users are lurkers and not commentators. Just there for the lolz and linked articles/pictures/memes
