Happy New Year!!

We often get asked why this subreddit exists, when r/BestofRedditorUpdates existed before. SharkEva goes into it in this post: Happy Cake Day to the sub. The gist of it is that this sub was formed when the old sub shutdown during the API protests last year and then started only publishing John Oliver content. And we only grew from there!

I also loved the comment from u/SquirrelGirlVA comparing the two subs on a now deleted post in this comment: « This one is more of the "breaking news" update subreddit. [...] The other sub is more of a "now that everything is over" sub »

As of December 2024, BORUpdates:

- ranks top 1% by size with 196k members!

- gained 125k members in the last 12 months, which was an increase of 35.8k over last year.

- the most popular post this year (also top All Time!) was posted to BORU by u/HappeeWrite on March 26, 2024, and had a whopping 11k+ upvotes! You can see that post here: My husband of 20 years is cheating on me with our son's 18 year old girlfriend.

Some of our top posters this year have included u/SharkEva, u/Schattenspringer, u/ObsidianNight102399, and u/YellowKingSte, and many more continue to post and grow our community!
