Something I've noticed with every website becoming a ghost town is more noticeable on reddit.
Posts reaching r/all would get hundreds of thousands of upvotes easily in the early 2010s, now you can see front page posts with single digit thousands. Comments rarely get above a few thousand upvotes even on top posts. Subreddits with hundreds of thousands of members yet only a dozen online.
Where is everyone?

They added that "Top X%" badge on all subs, but all it did is confirm how dead most of the site is. Any sub that gets any daily activity at all is going to make top 5% or better. And then you look down and it has >250,000 members, but only 12 online on a weekday evening, and 10 daily posts. We gave up real message boards for this.

I found a 2 year old post on r/changemyview where a commie is rationalizing why he goes out of his way to fuck up traffic to "punish tailgaters" and admits to almost causing someone to get in a bad wreck because he didn't let them pass him instead. Apparently this is some sort of grand plot to take the fun out of driving and make people use public transportation instead (besides being a shriveled dick bitch).

The comments about him wanting to control other people are spot on, because that's what commies are: control freaks who want to regulate not just the economy, but the entirety of society. That's why they really want to live in a stalinist police state.

I don't think message board are extinct like a lot of people think.
Basically every hobby has at least one popular forums with a plethora of information.
For example, every popular car has multiple forums dedicated to the model, the trim, the brand, the platform etc. Every one of those forums is active and have decades of information including high quality tutorials for most jobs. I'm contrast, the subreddit is mostly going to be memes and quick questions. I would never get advice from Reddit about anything related to my car. Likewise for any other hobby I could think of.

This website shows how the subreddits are grouped


The smaller block at the bottom consists of all the porn subreddits, roughly 20% of the total, judging by the graph

My guess is that a lot of the user base is concentrated in the NSFW area, which doesn't feature on the front page

The size of Coomer Island scares me.
Each dot is a subreddit. Two dots within the same cluster are usually close to each other if multiple users frequently leave comments on both subreddits.

People leaving comments on NSFW content on Reddit is deeply cringe. I suppose it makes it easier for people who learn your username to find out what kind of degenerate you are though.

That's wild, look up politics, there's only 3 connections. The bots programmed to stay there only? Even my small city sub has 10x more connections

How long do you think Reddit will continue to exists? Do you think Elon will buy it some day?

The only reason Reddit still exist is because of the advice/guide they give/gave.

People forget that Reddit is/was more than just political/coomer sperging

I and probably many people have had their problem solved just by typing their problem followed by "reddit" in the search bar.

As long as there is no good alternative to Reddit guides and advice, Reddit will continue to exist in my opinion.

anything you astroturf on reddit no matter how fake and gay is guaranteed to show up as the first result on google searches, even the AI overview is probably some bullshit quoted straight from reddit. I can't see any more value to it than as a SEO farm
