Do you guys think your community is actively larger than...

You are absolutely right about BitShares marketing.
But what is reddit.com who read it. Russians and Chineses did not read rabbit. 

This is a good comparison:

Don't act like you don't know what reddit is.

Do you guys think your community is actively larger than Vertcoin?

Have you excommunicated yourself?

For the record I think our community is a small number of active members. The price plunge really shook the tree.

When I first read Newmine's post, I misread it as 'our' community, and I was going to respond that he wasn't actually part of it.  But then I reread and saw that he had correctly left himself out.

I totally agree that we should develop a reddit presence. 

Sadly, the last time we tried, reddit shadowbanned everyones accounts.

With the 2.0 launch we should make reddit a more active place. Like it or not, alot of people go reddit to find out information first because they are usually already in reddit. I know I become a lot more active in Bitcoin initially because of reddit.

Bitshares has no reddit presence.  Every single coin out there has a stronger reddit presence than Bitshares.

Those other coins do not have a forum like bitsharestalk.org.

This ..
also those stats say notging about quality .. just quantity ..

Still, if it's as cheap as it was mentioned, why not? Why can't we have both? I think the question here would be, how much people are active here on the forums because we have no activity on reddit? If that's the majority it might not be worth it, but if we could turn our sub into a more active one with members who only frequent reddit, it's definitely worth the shot.

The fact we have an active forum doesn't mean we should neglect our social media. We can have both.

I have no affinity to Vertcoin, it's a shit coin. I just chose it for comparison.

Bitshares is number 9 on coinmarketcap.com
Vertcoin is number 31 on coinmarketcap.com


BTS daily trading volume is $115K (today)
VTC daily trading volume is $15K (today)


Reddit.com is ranked at #32 globally and ranked #10 in the U.S.A. They have great accessible stats for their subreddits.

Here are Vertcoins subreddit stats:
https://www.reddit.com/r/vertcoin/about/traffic

and here is Bitshares subreddit stats:
https://www.reddit.com/r/bitshares/about/traffic

Then just for fun check out AskReddit's sub stats (largest subscribed sub on reddit):
https://www.reddit.com/r/askreddit/about/traffic

Why does this shitcoin have a larger community, assuming reddit stats accurately represent the communities beyond reddit too. Yeah, yeah, the Chinese community represents a huge part of Bitshares. Wouldn't that be true for Vertcoin and all altcoins for that matter?

Here is bitcoins sub stats:
https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoin/about/traffic

So why are we not advertising on this huge website? 1,000 impressions costs between $1-$2 on reddit. Why hasn't a measly $1000 been spent on this just to try it? All the marketing delegates and AdamKErnests BTS collected so far equals much much more than that.

Insert another altcoin in the top 50 and their community's will all be larger than the godsend of crypto, Bitshares. Hell, even Ethereum's( https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/about/traffic) stats are booming in comparison, despite all the problems they have and the lack of an actual GUI.
