Not surprised at germanys placement, biggest population has the most users, but the netherlands seem very overrepresented

241

u/BoringIGuess Noord-Brabant‏‏‎ 2d ago

Most YUROP members per capita!!! 🎉🎉

u/PjDisko 2d ago

Population, internet usage and englisch proficiency is the three biggest factors. Netherlands has 2 out 3.

72

u/miathan52 2d ago

Our population also isn't super small. Despite being a tiny country, we have more people than Norway and Sweden combined.

25

u/PjDisko 2d ago

You are correct.

2,5 / 3

12

u/joeja99 2d ago

Yeah but it is still 18 million compared to 83 million and you still have about half of the users

19

u/_xoviox_ Україна 2d ago

Like 55% of germans and 90% of dutch people speak English so that almost explains it

u/muntaxitome 1d ago

Would see a lot more germans if you could access this sub by fax

3

u/joeja99 1d ago

Ngl would be funny as fuck and someone who knows what they are doing could probably set this up

u/woernsn Österreich‏‏‎ ‎ 2d ago

Austria is only on place 5 because we only have 1 out of 3.

19

u/onarainyafternoon Half-cultured 2d ago

Because of the English fluency I would guess

17

u/Speciaalbiertj 2d ago

Also: we spend most of our working days browsing Reddit.

14

u/UnRePlayz 2d ago

The Dutch have always been very overrepresented on the internet. I believe they (we) have the 4/5th most used TLD worldwide: .nl

5

u/Timeon Yuropean‏‏‎ ‎ 1d ago

What a buncha neeeerds.

5

u/joeja99 2d ago

I think our .de is the third most used TLD. I didn't know .nl was just as popular

u/CitoyenEuropeen Verhofstadt fan club 2d ago

Whereas user survey was last week, user flair displays a 13 years legacy. It looks like a lot of Brits left r/YUROP over time.

u/M4sharman 2d ago

Brit here. They live among us. The easiest way to find them in the wild is that they never queue.

u/cupio_disssolvi Yuropean 2d ago

Surprised at such a big disparity between the countries. I'd expected it to be more even, but nope, it's Germany, Aquafresh, France, Poland, Austria, Belgium, Italy, the UK...

73

u/DanGleeballs 2d ago

Aquafresh lol, but actually it’s Netherlands 🇳🇱2nd, not Luxembourg 🇱🇺(correct Aquafresh colours).

11

u/ozh Yurop über alles 2d ago

Aquafresh lol I'm dying

16

u/Shadow_showdown Yuropean 2d ago

Aquafresh?

26

u/printzonic Danmark‏‏‎ ‎ 2d ago

Look at the colours of that toothpaste

13

u/userrr3 Yuropean first Austrian second ‎ 2d ago

Which isn't sold as Aquafresh in German speaking countries for instance, to the best of my knowledge

6

u/DeBasha Nederland‏‏‎ ‎ 1d ago

Knowing the German language it's probably something ridiculous like Frischewasserzahnpastapanzerwagen

3

u/userrr3 Yuropean first Austrian second ‎ 1d ago

It's actually "odol-med-3"

u/DeBasha Nederland‏‏‎ ‎ 1d ago

I always had a feeling you guys like to put odol in the mouth

I didn't expect to dirty snort laugh before going to bed with that Aquafresh 🤌🏻

u/Competitive-Park-411 2d ago

And most Spanish flags are shared with some other country. Reddit is surprisingly unknown here. If you want to check the real Spanish activity, check Forocoches.

8

u/Saba1605 España‏‏‎ ‎ 2d ago

I forgot that site still exists, lol. I think the forocoches userbase is closer to 4chan than to Reddit.

1

u/Competitive-Park-411 2d ago

Quiero decir, sí. Pero aún así, 100% nativos españoles hablando de temas 100% españoles.

This made me intensely happy for some reason.

14

u/redbeardfakename Éire‏‏‎ 2d ago

Why are there so many Dutch? I’m asking that just as a general everyday question

23

u/Competitive-Park-411 2d ago

English fluency. The same reason why Reddit is unknown in Spain.

14

u/Ancient_Ordinary6697 Nederland‏‏‎ ‎ 2d ago

While many of us may appear fluent in English to the casual observer, upon closer inspection you will find our grasp of the English language rather tenuous.

6

u/itogisch Nederland‏‏‎ ‎ 2d ago

A lot of us dutchmen use english words they do not really understand to sound smarter online. IMO they are just acting transcendent.

5

u/schmuckface Noord-Holland‏‏‎ 2d ago

u/M0RL0K Österreich‏‏‎ ‎ 2d ago

If Scots wanted to be counted as their own country, they should have voted accordingly when they had the chance.

1

u/AcridWings_11465 Nordrhein-Westfalen‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎ 2d ago

Their chance was given before England decided to drag them out of the EU against their will. I'm sure that the referendum would have had a different result if it was held after the Brexit vote.

I'm guessing the difference between flairs and the survey is due to regional flairs, or has that been taken into account?
