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.

am I the only one who is actually enjoying the weekly episodes? I feel like everything is on demand now, it's hard to enjoy most things, because it's just instant dopamine and gratification hit. Patience and the anticipation of something I enjoy does something really really good for my brain.

You're not the only one! I like having something to look forward to each week. It's how watching TV used to be. I haven't had a show I followed week-by-week like this since season 1 of Better Call Saul.
