God, I hate posting a Reddit comment, but this is huge. Every claim is sourced (I have not verified personally).

Edit: Well, Reddit does what reddit does, it's been removed. Here is a github link: https://github.com/upper-up/meta-lobbying-and-other-findings

Actually, it was a hackernews link originally.

But for some interest-based subs, I still stick my nose in a hoover up knowledge without contributing back. Considering I janitored about 30 niche subs before the appageddon, I think they're net negative since I left roughly about when you did. I was probably replaced by a bot, so maybe they're happier.
