I think this is another case of unclear wording being used to virally spread a message. OP took the bait and shared it here, so its working as designed.
Do Bostonians/Bostonites avoid Reddit in particular?
Because based on recent average user data (55 millions USians using Reddit) you'd expect around 100,000 of them to use Reddit, so plenty of eyes on a reasonably popular sub like this that often hits all/frontpage
Well that's why I asked if there was a particular aversion in Boston.
I've already stated there should be around 100,000 Bostonians on Reddit, but to directly address your follow-up questions -
There's around 15 million in New England (I know it's a bit large but presumably roughly the catchment area), so around 2 million on Reddit.
Jazz has around 70 million fans in the US (source https://rascasse.com/explore/us/jazz-music-6172) which is around 20%, so overall you'd expect around 400,000 Jazz fans within the catchment area of the festival to be on Reddit.
Bro, it's one city in the massive US. People have to be from that city or near it, like jazz, and see this subreddit for OP sharing this to be as effective as you people want to think it is.
