This is a pretty awful way of looking anything up to be honest. Reddit is just a big echo chamber that will mindlessly parrot anything that is the common consensus for the particular subreddit.
- helicalmix 3y agoI mean, I agree it's a pretty awful way of reaching the truth or mass consensus, but in terms of gauging how much interest a certain subject has in absolute terms, I think it's a good gauge. What I'm trying to get at is that the original commenter is implying that people rarely question the value of economic growth, but if you google search the term "economic growth" generically, with no prompt on questioning its value, on a popular forum site, you'll see that one of the top questions is questioning its value.
