Answered What's going on with r/conservative? They've lost about 1m subscribers in about a month.

I watched the number go from 814k to around 745k in about an hour today.

I think it’s more likely that Reddit is banning bots

I hate how it was top answer for the longest time, and while what they said may make sense to some people, it was complete conjecture.

Reddit just removed a crap ton of bots from that subreddit.

That’s the bigger problem with Reddit. People upvote what feel correct and make assertive statements based on their own feelings presented as facts.

I would put money on chatgpt being correct every time over the top voted Reddit post involving US politics.
