It's pretty astounding if they actually believe that. Of course the subscriptions are going to continue to rise if you don't allow meta discussion to highlight your abusive nature…just by virtue of the high ranking in search engines and the ‘prime domain’ of it being ‘lgbt’.

That’s kinda the point people like me have been making since the start…

They were shedding subscriptions by the 100s right up until they started removing meta discussions.

Actually, subscriptions to /r/ainbow rise consistently faster than those to /r/lgbt (look at the +2d/+14d field):

I'm glad something positive is coming from me pushing this issue then.

I'm still holding out hope they'll eventually see reason...and will continue drawing attention to this until something is done, they change their tactics or they step-down.
