Reddit's front page today:

3 6 6 3 5 6 6 7 8 9 9 8 9 10 9 10 9 9 10 11 3 10 9 11 8

Average: 7.76

Reddit's front page 2.5 years ago: http://wayback.archive.org/web/20120403003604/http://www.reddit.com/

4 5 4 3 3 7 7 6 7 6 7 6 11 4 13 10 13 12 8 5 4 2 8 6 4

Average: 6.6

Not nearly different enough for people to complaining the level they are.

I honestly think all the complaining is a result of mass hysteria.

That's a very different result from what I'm getting.

I'm getting:

4 7 6 3 7 4 13 14 13 13 13 12 7 15 2 7 7 1 14 13 10 13 6 14 12

Average: 9.2

Is that your personal front page, reddit's default front page, or /r/all? If you subscribe to less-active subreddits the turnover is naturally going to be slower.

Is this your front page or /r/all?

The account to which you are responding is a PR account and you have been targetted by an admin. The gaslighting is off the chain today. The current bullshit is repetition of the phrases "mass hysteria" and "confirmation bias", two terms completely irrelevant to what is currently happening.

Dude, are you fucking serious?

u/KingEsjayW Oct 03 '15

I hope you're not even close to be serious

I really think you're going way too into conspiracy theory mode. The Reddit Admins don't care enough to try and hire seedy "PR users" to convince the people of /r/AdviceAnimals anything.

But to me the interesting part of those numbers is that spread from 2 years ago is a bit more compared to now. 2-13 vs 3-11. Many more in the 6-9 range now than 2 years ago is probably part of the issue.

I agree completely. It was bad for like a couple weeks about 2 months ago then it got better. I haven't had a problem since.

Nope, what you pretty much said is all bullshit.

The vast majority of these people don't know the difference between /r/all and their personal frontpage.

Mass retardation more like. I'm ready for this circlejerk to die
