Don't get me wrong, reddit has been the worst for about 10-12 years now and keeps getting worse every year, but as long as we're talking about this mysterious 3%.
How much traffic does that 3% account for? That's the real metric. I assume it's more than the avg user.
Also, what is an avg user? Someone that just wants a crowd-sourced opinion once a month is not. Is it someone that just looks at the front page and moves on? Does the avg user post? Do they lurk? Surely they're not mods.
I realize all these questions are moot, as reddit has been utter garbage since a little before fatpeoplehate got taken down.
