NFL team subreddit subscribers growth

Hello, /r/nfl! Prepare your eyes!


On July 1st, 2015, I had posted a picture graph of the amount of subscribers in each team subreddit here.

I'm now back, as promised, to update you with the amount of subscribers now and observe the change. The link post picture is both data stacked in bar.


Bar graph from both July 1st, 2015 and February 12th, 2016 subscribers count

The same picture as the link post picture. Apologizes for any team name typos.


Bar graph from July 1st, 2015 subscribers count only

In case you didn't see it already, this was the graph of the amount of subscribers in each of the 32 team subreddits from July 1st, 2015 only. This is before the preseason even began.


Bar graph from February 12th, 2016 subscribers count only

Now the same graph format with the updated subscriber count from February 12, 2016 only. Because of the STL-LA move, I counted subreddit count from both subreddits).


Now, both bar graphs do not have the exact number of subscribers. Rather, they are divided into increments of 10,000. Obviously, it's great to see the exact amount of subscribers.

Each column, bolded is the most subscribers at that date point.

Observations:

  • Even after 226 days, The New England Patriots still have the most amount of subscribers.

  • The Jacksonville Jaguars had the least amount of subscribers in July 2015.

  • The St. Louis Rams have the least amount of subscribers on February 12th, 2016. However, with the STL-LA move that subreddit won't be counted anymore as it's not main. If not counted, the Jacksonville Jaguars have the least amount on February 12th, 2016.


  • The New England Patriots had the greatest subscriber growth with 8,401 new subscribers.

  • The Green Bay Packers had the second greatest subscriber growth with 4,989 new subscribers.

  • The St. Louis Rams had the least subscriber growth with 230 new subscribers. However with the relocation, they did lose subscribers overtime after they have moved to Los Angeles Rams subreddit.

  • The New Orleans Saints had the second least subscriber growth with 748 new subscribers. If you don't count St. Louis, New Orleans had the least growth.



What are your thoughts, Reddit? Reasons on greater growth on the subreddits? Expect another date point to be added right around the start of the 2016 NFL preseason.
