    90-9-1 rule says that you may in fact be correct.

    90% are probably lurkers. But there is a good argument to be made that a lot of the recent growth is from the 9% of contributors on Reddit, and some of the 1% also.

    Currently I suspect that much less than 90% here are lurkers, but that should balance out over time just due to how social communities work.

      You’re likely correct on all of your assumptions, in my opinion :)
