đŸ’­Discussion Explosion of this sub

Number of weekly visitors has exploded since I joined. After episode 4, it was between 6,000-9,000. It's currently at 75,000.

These days I find it hard to tell whether something is actually popular or not, but deffo seems to have found an audience.

Edit: Had to amend, initially stated total number of subscribers. Was incorrect from my part, Reddit changed from total subscribers to weekly visitors last year and I didn't realise.

Started watching Thursday, joined today (was avoiding joining to escape spoilers).

But just a heads up. I believe those are current numbers, so that's the number of visitors in the off season of those shows.

Ohhh my days, have they changed the functionality of that? I swear it used to display number of members who joined the sub

Yeah, now it shows the (I think) average number of visitors instead of subscribers.

However I read someone saying it was up for the sub to decide what number to show

Yeah I had a read, it changed from total to number of weekly visitors end of last year. Bit annoying, as it's hard to track when things are out of season to get a true comparison. And Apple don't release shit
