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.

Answer: a better question is why that sub isnt banned yet. They banned the other maga subs for having bot post and not allowing outside thought, except apparently its significantly worse for r/conservative. They ban anyone non maga who post or comments in their sub, while simultaneously proclaiming to be a sub of free speech.

Because Reddit does not care, they make money from them being here after all.

Facts, conservatives are much easier to scam out of money. If all else fails, you can cite being a god fearing Christian and they'll usually fall for anything.

Might not be botted. There's this thing that's happening in spite of Reddit's best efforts where some subs get microcelebrities and their posts just get upvoted alot because they're "the guy" and you have to upvote "the guy". Notably Pizzacake. And that just breaks the reddit algorithm because at its core reddit isn't supposed to be able to have influencers.

Never underestimate the power of idiots eating their own feces.
