I've definitely seen a gradual shift in the last 600 days. If the shift continues gradually, then yes, this site may be Reddit-lite in 600 days. If the shift accelerates, it could happen sooner than that.
- robg 18y agoProblem is, of course, this election is huge news. Considering that, are even one in a hundred posts here touching on those issues? What was it last year at this time, one in two hundred posts? That's a difference of 1% vs. .5% of submissions. Frankly, I highly doubt that 1 in 100 posts, right now, touch politics unless your view of politics is so jaded that it infects things like economic collapses. There may be a shift, but if those numbers are accurate (and I think they're conservative) we're seeing an over reaction to a very minor issue.
