    I’ve seen the 90/9/1 rule talked about in this context; 90% of users lurk, 9% interact, and 1% actually contribute content.

    Reddit’s problem is that the people that care about this issue are heavily concentrated toward the 1% end of that spectrum. If they go away then what’s going to be there for the lurkers to lurk at?
