Does anyone actually believe these numbers? Reddit seems half filled with bots and alt accounts to me.

If I recall correctly, its initial user base was mostly composed of fake users, to make it appear as if had quickly become popular.

As an avid reddit user, wtf? That's not my feeling at all. What subreddits do you use?

I read many subreddits. It’s my strong impression that most of the mainstream subs (which make up a vast majority of the userbase) are filled with questionable accounts.
