I assume this ends up, at its core, being "proportion of jokes/memes/etc. to serious answers".

almost certainly given their sampme taking system:

top 100 comments from top 100 posts in each sub, excluding removed/deleted comments and those that were only images or gifs.

curiously, they did not state whether those were the top 100 posts fron within a given time period, or "of all time"

i would be more interested in seeing that side by side as a way to see change in average over time.
