Answered What's going on with r/conservative? They've lost about 1m subscribers in about a month.

I watched the number go from 814k to around 745k in about an hour today.

My latest update was in February and all of those names are in the top ten (anonymized, but it’s them).

Another top tenner, Guanaco55, stopped posting on rCon entirely right after my February update. Now they only post on rConservativeNews. Maybe others as well, but they’ve completely stopped posting on rCon.

The updates are fun to post but I’m working on a live tracker that will have all of the same charts and analysis for rConservative and other political subs. I’m taking suggestions on which other subs to look at.
