Thanks to wallstreetbets, there has been a huge influx into all the other finance and economics subs. I'm actually so happy about this phenomenon.
​
/r/badeconomics and /r/askeconomics both cracked 200 thousand last week. I never thought I'd see the day where /r/askeconomics would get 20 thousand new subscribers a day, but that happened last week.

I'm not following this closely, but from what I've read, many people are furious about bots, newbies and whatnot all shadowing over legit content. WSB and clones had an absolutely massive influx of users.
And it is logical; growing communities in general are changing the community itself and the faster they are growing or more people joining in a short amount of time, the bigger the change is. Which means more sharp changes that rarely align with the originial community which causes drama and factions.
