    Isn’t the share of posts on Reddit coming from the US at something like 42%? Most of the content is in English from what I have read but I could not find data on how much exactly, if you know where to find that kind of data, just post a link.

    I am not annoyed, why would I be? Your “primary” language example is just failing the point. An English comment written by someone who speaks another primary language is still English. Reddit is an international meeting place. English is a widely spoken lingua franca in major parts of the world, certainly in Europe and to some extend in India. If you have a place where people from different countries meet, the language will be most likely English and that dwarfs the number of US Americans with English as primary language.

    As a case in point, do you seriously believe most of the posts on r/Europe for example are from US Americans?
