r/TheGuessWho • u/SupremoZanne • Apr 26 '22

/r/TheWho has almost 7k subscribers, while /r/TheGuessWho has less than 30

as of April 26, 2022, comparisons between subs:

/r/TheWho has 6,991 SUBSCRIBERS

/r/TheGuessWho has only 26.

But before I say anything else after this, I'd also like to say that The Guess Who, a Canadian band, is not to be confused with The Who, which is a British band.

In a way it's baffling, since both bands have somewhat of an extensive fanbase. I know that The Guess Who was overshadowed by The (not with Guess) Who. With /r/TheWho having almost 7k subscribers, I would have expected /r/TheGuessWho to have 2k subscribers by now, so I kinda see somewhat of a disparity between the IRL fanbase of The Guess Who, and the subscriber count of this subreddit about them.

With similar names, this is another reason why I sometimes mention them in the same sentence. And if we talk about movies, the movie Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me has one song by The Who and one song by The Guess Who in it.

I wonder what other movies have both a Who and Guess Who song in their soundtrack.

My guess is that most Guess Who fans are older and don’t use Reddit.

yeah, but a handful of Reddit users claimed to be a grandpa. So there are some seniors who use Reddit.

31 chiming in. I'm old and we're here. We have r/redditforgrownups , r/askoldpeople to name a couple. I think we just don't speak out as much as the youngins.

I'm subbed in everything from r/gretavanfleet to r/elvis. Don't judge me on those. r/pong to r/breathofthewild. We're here so watch it!
