I would estimate 10+% of reddit has deleted their accounts, but most importantly, that 10% skews significantly toward 'power user'. Quality of content is already dropping apparently.

Not all investors will recognize that nuance, but 'reddit in chaos' was national news.

You'd be wrong.

  • I'd be surprised if it was 1%, even if we filter to daily active users.

    Granted, 1% would still be a lot on this scale. So I'm not saying that as an insult.

  • OK, 10% of actually-active accounts. Reddit certainly has a huge number of zombie accounts - I think I have 3.
