‘Front page of the internet’: how social media’s biggest user protest rocked Reddit
(www.theguardian.com)
As a moderator of a fairly large sub over there, I strongly suspect this is happening on a mass scale. According to our stats, we're getting 120k unique views a month (dropped dramtically during the exodus, but has seemingly returned to normal now), but posts rarely get more than 20 upvotes or comments. I know most redditers are lurkers, but even still, that just seems like an oddly high number of views.
