> But they're so few.

Given how many subreddits there, I have to ask if you have statistics to back up this claim.

My intuition is that people have problems with a bunch of popular subreddits, but the vast majority of subreddits are just fine. I have no statistics to back up this intuition.

Do you?

There’s a whole vibrant industry of people you can pay to market whatever you want on Reddit. They can’t all be competing for the same few popular subreddits. They must be differentiated by targeting niche subreddits.

  • There's about 138,000 active subreddits. I don't believe that this industry is targetting even a majority of them.

    • That number alone is a very good reason for the industry to target as much of it as they can / dare.

      You say "sudreddit". Marketing teams say "self-selecting target segment".
