""In theory, it's what's most popular on Reddit, but it's actually what is liked by the most active users on Reddit-which is not the same thing," he said. "Having it as a default feed gives the false impression of a singular Reddit culture, one that is neither representative of Reddit nor appealing to new users (or anyone at all, IMO).""
""r/popular sucks, and we're moving away from it, and towards better, more relevant and personalized feeds.""
""And if your perspective isn't represented, you can create the community you want to see," he said. "The freedom to build your own corner of the internet is what makes Reddit, Reddit.""
Reddit will remove the r/popular feed from the homepage for new users and stop showing it in the sidebar unless users read it regularly. The r/popular feed surfaces posts liked by the most active users, which creates a misleading impression of a singular Reddit culture rather than reflecting the platform's diverse communities. The platform plans to shift toward more personalized and relevant feeds. Additional changes include limiting the number of high-traffic communities a single person can moderate and altering how community sizes are displayed. Reddit reaches about 116 million daily visitors and its stock rose roughly 44% over the past year.
