Reddit is a very small subsection of the Internet consisting mainly of basement-dweller radical leftist they/thems. We should not be taking them as a representative sample of the average Anthropic user.
- sweezyjeezy 6mo agoIronic that you are talking about unrepresentative samples while characterizing Reddit users that way. Reddit is a huge subsection of the internet, over a billion monthly active users. It covers basically all strata of western society you can think of.
- verdverm 6mo agoThey seem to count unregistered users in the D/W/MAU, but even so the producer / consumer of content ratio across social media still stands. What you read is a subsection of all visitors to Reddit, which follows the power law.
- meta_gunslinger 6mo agoAre you counting the fakes and the bots? Moreover, as sibling pointed out, content creator != visitor. If Reddit was a representative sample of reality, all governments in the West would have been ran by gay race Communists.
- sweezyjeezy 6mo agoI have to ask - are you a bot? You seem to be making some very strong and misinformed statements here. You can fixate on the number if you like, but calling Reddit homogeneously radical left or 'very small', is pretty stupid.
- meta_gunslinger 6mo agoThinking that Reddit has any resemblance to reality is what is stupid.
