After 10 years it's now as important to kids as Facebook.
There posts getting 100k upvotes more often these days. And some are approaching even 200k.
What's even crazier is the growth of the imgur subculture
For example, a post with a score of 7 would increase by 1 every time it receives an upvote, but may need 10 or 15 upvotes to increase by another point once it gets over 1000 points (made up numbers).
A few months ago, the admins made a change to the algorithm to allow posts to gain much more points than before. Now, a post gets 1 point per upvote until, say, 10,000 upvotes, after which it only needs 5 upvotes per point.
If you sort top, almost all 100k+ upvotes are after this switch.

Are there some stats on demographics? I know it was cool for kids like 10 years ago, but did the demographics just shift with the initial age group or are they still actively getting teenagers?
