Are you looking for actual quantification? Or are you looking for anecdotes, because simple observation will prove this out.

- bborud 5y agoI wouldn't be asking if I thought simple observation would do or if I were looking for anecdotes. "Simple observation proves it" isn't really an answer I can learn anything from.
- brodouevencode 5y agoOkay, fair, in which case you could probably run your own analysis from the reddit API and do your own work. AFAIK there's no one doing this (please chime in if you know!). Or you could take the approach here [1] and run your own experiment. I would love to know the result. Make sure you run it in some of the bigger subs: r/all, r/funny, r/politics, etc. providing multiple. even contradictory comments and posts just to see what happens.
