      Probably 95% of that is overlapping since one person being subbed to 20 participating subs is counted 20 times, and since some default and massive subs are participating there must be a ton of overlap.

      Doesn’t matter.

      Each user doesn’t visit reddit once.

      I will be subscribed to more than one subreddit which means I will visit all of my subbed subs and thus reddit will lose all of these interactions.
