Comment on Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site”
FaceDeer@fedia.io 1 month agoThis is actually another of Reddit's decisions that I'm in agreement with. Subscriber count isn't a very useful number, it largely just measures how old a subreddit is. You can already see how old the subreddit is much more accurately by looking at its founding date.

If they’d added, yes. But removing it completely is just a way to hide how many are on the platform.
Or left in a protest

You’ve got that backwards.
Active users are literally all that matter. When a user is banned permanently from Reddit, they aren’t unsubscribed from any subs. They’re still included in the total subscriber number.
Showing total subscriber numbers is hiding the details. Showing active user counts is the opposite.
