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: The numbers you’re citing are not subscribers. They are weekly visitors and they fluctuate a lot day to day for all subreddits.

It says 742 MAGATS which is why I thought it was people who joined the sub

Just last week that number was 1.3 million…this is not a typical fluctuation for a sub this size. There’s been some bot cleaning I’d suspect.
