I think that's kind of the point, isn't it? Reddit used to have those actual subreddits, then they were closed and all those users went... To the rest of reddit. They're not going to leave because their hate sub was closed, now they're just going to participate more everywhere else.

For what it's worth, I think it's basically been the same amount the whole time and like you said just became more acceptable to be more open leading up to and after 2016.
