That's my experience as well. Certain subs didn't black out, disappointing me (just about everything I used did, though). I can take a peek and what I see is a smaller number that returned, and in some cases I have sympathy (certain kinds of support forum) and in some cases it permanently affected my take on the sub.

It's made me wonder why I've spent time shoveling engagement and words into the maw of a machine that didn't turn out to be the people I thought I was hanging out with. I spent a YEAR of my life traveling great distances to pursue a long-distance relationship I literally found on Reddit. That relationship turned out to not be as healthy as I wanted to believe it was…

…same with Reddit. More's the pity.
