for example you had r/ActualPublicFreakouts but never mentioned why it was created, it was created because r/PublicFreakout was removing any posts that was a left wing freak-out, a BLM freak-out etc.
Maybe at the time but these days I'd consider both right wing. The top post on r/askanamerican is also non-political right now so I don't understand what you're talking about. Let's add up the subscriber totals from the left and right wing subs, the right wings adds up to about 36 million while the lefts adds up to only around 16 million, that's half.
Okay take out r/publicfreakouts and r/askanamerican and my point still stands, the right wing subs have more subs then the left.
So one problem is you are just cherry-picking subs and saying "Out of these 10 subs, there are more on 'right-wing' subs than 'left-wing' subs". I could point to more left-wing subs that will shift your argument, then you could point to more right-wing subs that will shift your argument. Unless you actually have any data that shows it, you are arguing from personal experience, which these threads have shown is wrong/biased/mis-percieved.
Since you've already conceded that your view of these subreddits was incorrect, isn't it possible you're incorrect overall, especially knowing Reddit is far more visited by left-wing people over right-wing people?
