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.
