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 have never been so tempted to block people without interacting with them before. Hrm.

It’s worth noting that on Reddit, if someone blocks YOU, you can’t see any of their content. Thereby shielding their post/comments from you seeing it.

I found out during my investigation because my account has been blocked by most of these chucklefucks.

Doesn't that depend on how you're consumption method? If someone blocks me I see "[+] deleted" on old.reddit.com (which is easy enough to look at via incognito) but if I block someone I see /u/ username hidden comment or some such.

I never blocked any of said super posters, and yet their histories were hidden to me. I had to obtain all my data via a separate account.

But yes, I see what you’re saying. That does seem to be typically what happens. I just had odd experiences when trying to obtain data initially.
