It's also worth noting that the 9% they cut off was probably the group more inclined to already be using alternatives to Reddit anyways.

You underestimate the amount of average joes that use stuff like DuckDuckGo

Seconding this. I work in IT, and the number of tech-illiterate people using DuckDuckGo as their default search engine is astounding. It’s got to be about 10% of our users (none of whom are in tech roles).

I would actually think that the 9% they cut off would be more likely than the 91% to be using Reddit.
