There are 13,106 subscribers to v/pizzagate, according to Voat's daily count. That means a (maximum) average of 99 newbies subscribed every day after 11/24/16, when Reddit banned #Pizzagate and v/pizzagate more-or-less started up. See [http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-11-23/reddit-bans-pizzagate-we-dont-want-witchhunts-our-site] and [http://stateofthenation2012.com/?p=57666 ].
According to my informal counts, the daily new subscription rate has dropped from around 100 a couple of months ago into the teens and single digits now. (And I note that slowing growth in total subscriptions does not count loss of interest by subscribers who stop caring but don't cancel.)
Since I did not record my numbers religiously every day, moderators Sensitive and Abortion object that I am presently unable to document an arithmetic proof. I have provided the above baseline so that they and everyone can track and evaluate subscriber counts themselves.
The numbers I already know -- and I think you will confirm if you try -- establish that v/pizzagate has been less and less effective in extending PGate consciousness and sentiment beyond itself. Some moderators and others may prefer not to hear that message because PGate awareness must grow dramatically to force official action. Like it or not, the data strongly suggest that non-committed, non-subscribers increasingly hear v/pizzagate as an echo chamber where the faithful preach to each other.
I will give up my point if this post is removed for the third time. I also will give up my hope that v/pizzagate can have more than a pretense of changing real world outcomes.

Agree x 1,000,000, but I despise the ending "gate" for any issue, whether it's serious or not. It started with Watergate and then took on a mind of its own. I can't even say the name pizzagate out loud because it sounds ridiculous.
We all know that pizzagate is an evil, bottomless pit, and although it is a huge part of the big picture, it's not the whole picture. We can neither ignore nor forget Assange and Snowden. The sheer wealth of information they and their anons have thus far provided along with the organization of the files is beyond belief. Everyhing they have provided to us is the real deal, "straight-from-the-horses-mouth" information. Every person in this country who has half a working brain needs Wikileaks shoved down their throat.
The entire planet is fucked-up with one debacle leading to another, and we are its ringleader.

Frankly, I am tired of downvoaters unless it's well-deserved and it's obvious. Otherwise, you are an asshole. So, for my downvoated comment that is undeserved, have the balls or your pussy hat on to give your reason. I do not expect you to be polite or brave because losers are neither.
