Subreddits generally undergo twinkdeath between 100k and 1m users. Once enough people know about the sub they tell all their snoo friends and pretty soon it’s just a hivemind and memes and funny quips. Watched it happen to a lot of tech subs.

The exception is subs that lean heavily into over-the-top curation which is also its own special kind of groupthink hell imo.
