Reddit is growing because they introduced automatic machine translation and Indians have been joining at an increasing rate. That content is mixed into the English language content, but is of very low quality and irrelevant to many native English speakers. Similarly they mix the English content in with the Indian content.

Essentially, Reddit is also eating it's own tail to survive as the flood of low quality irrelevant content is making the platform worse for speakers of all languages but nobody cares because "line go up."
