    Don’t get me wrong, reddit has been the worst for about 10-12 years now and keeps getting worse every year, but as long as we’re talking about this mysterious 3%.

    How much traffic does that 3% account for? That’s the real metric. I assume it’s more than the avg user.

    Also, what is an avg user? Someone that just wants a crowd-sourced opinion once a month is not. Is it someone that just looks at the front page and moves on? Does the avg user post? Do they lurk? Surely they’re not mods.

    I realize all these questions are moot, as reddit has been utter garbage since a little before fatpeoplehate got taken down.

      It makes sense that they generate more traffic than the average user.

      It’s also us that generate the content they’re selling.
