The exodus was worse than the numbers indicate.
Platforms are heavily Pareto skewed.[1]. The top 5% of reddit users are the primary (posters, mods) and secondary (commenters) content creators who are responsible for 95% of the life on reddit.
The protest was led by this top 5%, and I presume they're also the main group that atrophied. The scale of damage is therefore underreported in simple usage statistics.
[1] I just coined the term, and I'm proud of it. Now shatter my dreams, and tell how it has already been around for decades.
- wizzwizz4 3y ago"Pareto skewness" appears in https://hal.science/hal-00700465 https://hal.science/hal-00700465 (doi:10.1109/asonam.2012.91) from 2012, though I'm not sure whether it has the same sense. Unfortunately, https://forum.earlyretirementextreme.com/viewtopic.php?t=3194#post_content44019 https://forum.earlyretirementextreme.com/viewtopic.php?t=319... from 2013 is a perfect match: > Etsy seems dominated by stores that sell nothing with a few that do rather well. It's severely Pareto skewed. This is a relatively rare use of language, so you might deserve co-invention credit.
