Reply to comment by AntoniaFauci in [OC] How Big Brother Canada murdered my favorite subreddit (r/BigBrother) by FlippantBuoyancy

Interesting, I had some similar experiences during the first week of the season. And quite a few conversations with the mods.

Ultimately, I suspect there is an element of both things at play: (1) sedated viewership because of no feeds and (2) the subreddit self-sabotaging. A good handle on this might be just comparing the episode threads (gold bars) between BBCAN10 and BBCAN11. Posts in the episode threads shouldn't be getting censored to any significant degree. Yet the comments for BBCAN11 still lag BBCAN10 by a large amount.

For a data analysis, compare the weeks before the moderator went to war on the users versus after. I suspect you’ll see a marked inflection point when they began suppressing comments and pushing away the users who had been driving engagement.

Unfortunately your API probably can’t access data for threads and comments they suppressed.

You're correct, unfortunately.
