There are only 7,157 subscribers to /r/poor
There are 194,177 subs in /r/coinbase and 3,780,323 in /r/bitcoin.
Given the low numbers and selection bias of subreddit membership, it seems hard to draw any meaningful conclusions.
If you assume everyone who subscribes to /r/poor is poor
AND everyone in /r/poor is also on crypto subreddits
AND crypto subreddit users are representative of broader populations (very tenuous assumptions), that means our lower bounds are:
- /r/coinbase is 3.7% poor
- /r/bitcoin is 0.2% poor
Both of those are well below the general poverty rate so... who cares?
/r/poor subscribers probably are not a representative sample of poverty anyways, so these are pretty meaningless statistics.
