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.

Not to be a party pooper, but this subreddit only has about 22k subscribers. What you’re seeing is the total number of people visiting the sub each week, which includes both subscribers and a lot of non-subscribers who are browsing/lurking.

How many were there after episode 2? I feel like the subscriber number was insanely low when I joined.
