Reddit Activity Plummeted After The Protests (www.garbageday.email)

Excerpt:

Most major subreddits show a decrease of between 50 and 90 percent in average daily posts and comments, when compared to a year ago. This suggests the problem is way fewer users, not the same number of users browsing less. The huge and universal dropoff also suggests that people left, either because of the changes or the protests, and they aren’t coming back.

so how is random redditors talking sports better than sports radio?

It's usually not, you're right. Reddit sports forums -- especially team specific ones -- are dominated by sports radio type garbage takes.

But you also have at least some people on reddit who are trying to go deeper, or who have more perspective, than your drunk uncle yelling at the TV. So it's a lot of shit but a decent amount of good, where sports radio is almost all shit.

If you want to know about or hear discussion around the game or something but are around other people without headphones, quietly reading what Redditors have to say is considered more polite than putting on the sports radio for everyone else to hear.
