    I agree, I hated when some of the subs I was in would brag about hitting a number like 100,000 members. After a certain point more members doesn’t add any value at best, and and at worst actually hurts the quality of the community. The bigger numbers were just an ego thing for the mods.

      Yup, for a very long time I used reddit for nothing but r/NBA. You often had quality posts with substance and users generally knew what they were talking about. Compare that to today, and every single thread is filled with nothing but memes and shit posts that don’t actually add anything to the conversation.
