Could Google be using Reddit to revive an ancient, failed project? — 60,000+ Redditors may well be mTurk’ing for Google Answers 2.0

Both community and content are created by people. If people come here there will be community and there will be content.

Maybe it’s time to move away from fact based discussion and more towards stupid puns and satire.

But it also refers to “a staggering 73 million daily active users”, which I wouldn’t really say is a staggering number in $current_year when other social networks have orders of magnitude more.

Well, there's definitely no social network with "orders of magnitude more"... Even if that's only 2 orders of magnitude, that's almost the entire population of the world.

So this made me curious and best I can find there seem to be only a few social media platforms that even have 1 order of magnitude more:

• Facebook, with 2.1 billion DAU as of Q4 2023
• Youtube, which has 2.7 billion monthly active users (I'm speculating that it has at least 730 million DAU based on that number)
• WhatsApp (which wikipedia notes has 2 billion MAU and had 1 billion DAU when it had 1.3 billion MAU, so presumably it's around 1.5 billion DAU now)

DAU is a pretty rare statistic to find reported on, so it's hard to say if there are others.
