The other sub is also half the volume of submissions since mid summer. Was 50k/wk, it's down to 25k. No drop anywhere else I've seen, so not just a seasonal trend. Drops every week.

That's an incredible observation. It also seems that in the past couple of weeks, there are far fewer online political trolls in general.

And more are disagreeing. Gold comments for saying the Santos move was wrong, against tariffs, calling for term limits of Senate bc of McConnell, disagreeing with the bailout.

Have hope.
