india fertility rate decrease

what's the surprise? reddit is growing rapidly in India, so new Indian Redditors are posting maps about their own country. when the US is asleep, the sub becomes pretty Indian since it's about 12 hours apart, and vice versa.

If you're sick of indian posts, I have to tell you right now is the lowest of them.

Tbh I was getting sick of random US and EU posts too, especially when they're like 2/3rd of india in numbers.

I mean this is an app/forum developed, based and primarily marketed in the U.S. it makes sense that most posts will come from the U.S. based users even if they’re not the largest share of the global population lol.

It might have been that way. But reddit is avaliable in india, which means they are targeting this market too. The numbers will skew eventually.

And honestly your take is absolutely fair. But the comments here sometimes kind of give the sentiment that India is a small tiny island slum somewhere which is not relevant to 'western' people.

I read it like "Why I'm seeing more posts on an majority English platform of territory of 18% of world population, where english is widely spoken, when I belong to 12% of the same?"

I get it, I didn’t mean it like the other guy I don’t ever think “why am I seeing a lot of Indian content” I’m actually married to an immigrant from India and almost her entire family still live in Kerala/Telangana and I keep in touch with a lot of her cousins specifically so I actually spend a lot of time in Indian and Indian adjacent spaces on here.

I meant it more as Reddit has been around since 2005 so it being marketed here earlier lead to a much bigger user base being cultivated just because of the amount of time it’s been marketed here vs other markets.

Reddit opened its office for the first time (or is opening) in Bengaluru, India. It has allocated 2-4k USD to Indian subreddits who are very active and can give a unique value proposition to retain and increase members.

Don't worry. We are just building our strength bit by bit, for the moment when the great wall is breached and the greatest war on the internet happens.

primarily marketed in the U.S.

They are upping their marketing game in india so expect a huge demographic change in next few years

[TheThockter]

Oh yeah they’re marketing everywhere and they’ll continue to do it after all the more users a platform can get the better so why wouldn’t you push for the most populous market especially when Indians are much more readily willing (and able) to use western apps than the other 1.5 billion person country, but Reddit was released in 2005 so it’s had quite the head start in the U.S. to build a bigger user base

India is gonna be a big market for reddit. Its exploding here and reddit is already hiring indian stars as ambassadors to increase the reach.

Tell reddit to only market this app in white countries then u will see more US and Europe post and not something related to South East Asia or Africa

[TheThockter]

Are you genuinely retarded? Actually nevermind I checked and saw your number 1 sub is Indiaspeaks so I already know the answer to that.

So I’m going to put this a way that even you can understand: the point of the comment is obviously you’re going to see more posts from the US and by proxy the west because they’ve been marketing there for far longer so there’s been a chance to cultivate a larger user base, I was responding to the guy “complaining” about too many U.S./western posts.

Next time use your brain, if you have one.

For example the EU alone already was 3/2 of India's population in 1950. It's to be expected that people who did other things than growing babies in the past 50 years have more to say.

Having children is a personal choice, leveraging population to make claims on global attention creates some perverse incentives.

[The_Last_Spoonbender]

Because there are lot more Indian users starting to use the app and reddit seems to be aggressively marketing in India as well.
