The Reddit was my go to. The place for advice. I learned a lot there.

But now, it's all John Oliver.

Usually I wouldn't complain about John Oliver. But this shit is getting ANNOYING. I WANNA LEARN ABOUT PIRACY GODDAMNIT. If a good service is shut down, I wouldn't be able to hear about it if it wasn't for you guys. If a website had a virus problem. If I was having trouble. Thank whoever made this website and this community. You're our only hope.

Right.

So according to your detailed timeline, when is Reddit going to see a decline in new users and total monthly users, because it has only went up and up with no signs of stopping. Is that part of being on the edge of their grave, or just an unexplainable anomaly?

Also, neither TikTok or Instagram are discussion forums. TikTok is a short-video platform and instagram is a photo sharing platform. Your comparison is like saying McDonald’s outcompeted Ticketmaster.

If you haven't noticed, reddit has a MASSIVE bot problem, I'd wager at least 1/3 of the posts on r/all are from repost bots and copy pased comments from bots probably about the same. How can you be sure these numbers are are even from real users?
