How? The site is so slow and unresponsive, as for threads it hand-picks like 3 comments at best, you have to click to see all and it still won't show all. How and why do people put up?
But how many people does that single percentage number represent? With hundreds of thousands of active accounts, loosing 5% of users is not an insignificant amount of a user base.
I can't see anything replacing Reddit any time soon, though.
