I don't think this is a Reddit problem. All social media platforms have increasingly large groups of crazy people. However, I highly suspect that those groups are just a very vocal minority and not hundreds of millions of people as the OP said.
- rootusrootus 3y agoIf I recall the statistics, and assume them to be accurate, something like 1 out of 100 people make almost all the posts you see on a site like Reddit. Which means if anyone who looks at Reddit thinks the thoughts & opinions they are reading are representative of the population at large, they are very mistaken. I think after a while a lot of the quieter people get so turned off by the whole experience they just step away altogether. I strongly suspect that a subreddit claiming to have a million subscribers probably has at least two orders of magnitude fewer in reality. And that may still be an overestimate.
