Reddit seems oddly quiet these last few days. Its kinda eerie. Posts that would normally generate a ton of comments just have 2 or 3 comments. It feels a bit like a calm before the storm.

Anyone know whats up?

    hiding total sub member count with a rolling view count

    Wouldn’t that be worse? I’ve seen a sub that had close to 5 million members and the new metric showed today 98 000 weekly users. r/gaming had what? 30 millions? Now it’s 2.4. This makes it look worse, doesn’t it? Or am I missing something?

    But I agree with anything else you said.

      I assume it’s more to push active subs up instead of letting the large empty ones stay on top. It’s better to see 90k with corresponding activity vs a 30m ghost town.
