So I just opened both the bitcoin and bitcoinxt reddits to compare the number of active uses online at that moment since this is a better comparison than subscriber count which is mostly inactive users. The results are:
/r/bitcoin - 606 online users
/r/bitcoinxt - 306 online users
That makes 33% of bitcoin redditers switching to the XT reddit in 1 day.
Wow just wow
what about this? briefly spotted on reddit but can't find it again now? from redditmetrics
Subreddit Growth
How /r/Bitcoin growth compares with growth of 695,515 other subreddits.
No. 695,515 Fastest growing yesterday
basically it's going negative by about 300 odd people left in the last few days.
