tl;dr: post your age in the comment section / upvote the comment with your age it if it's already there
Long story long:
Hey fam, long time lurker here.
So, we''ve seen that a lot of people posted images with the people that died in 2016, many of which made it to the FP. From celebrities, scientist, unsung heroes, dads, moms to the brazilian soccer team.
In this wave of death-awareness we're ending the year with, one particular post caught my attention: http://imgur.com/tlRnX60
It made me wonder. It assumes a particular demographic for imgur.
I guess I could just reach out and ask Sarah and - just maybe - receive some insight on this question. Then again, the thought struck me: why not ask you directly?
My question might die in user sub, I actually expect it to. But maybe..just maybe, it will catch on and offer me the pleasure of being up there on the other side of the moon, the notorious FP, with the OP stars and OC glitter and the detested reposters.
Oh - and all that with a simple idea and a pic of a question mark. (in your face, relentless OC-posting master gif-makers)
~
So - in order to do this, I came up with a system (**drum roll**)I will start with my age, by posting it in the comments. If you are the same age, upvote it (yes, yes, I know, another shameless point-whoring idea but what the heck).
If your age is not yet posted, be the first ambassador of your amazing age group!

I can imagine comments like "nice try, NSA" and "is this the real life" and what-not emerging. :)
It's cool. That's what imgur is all about.
But still. If we manage to stick on topic for this one, it would show us what the age trend is, by using imgur's own popularity-sorting algorithm.
All that, while keeping the comment section withing reasonable 50-70 comments sections - I don't expect the demographic range to be larger than that. (**badum tz**)

lot's o'love and hugs from !@%*&@(!* - shit, f#ck, NO, we're not doing that thing again where everyone starts posting their continent, country, city etc etc.. HELL NO.

You know you can just google demographics for imgur?
qget
indeed, but that would take out all the fun
notrollnoparty1
Next step is asking genders?
qget
hm.. nope. i wast just curios about the demographics, actually.
TheQuack
Someone is downvoting these. Your experiment is not going to end well.
qget
no biggie, maybe in a future iteration of the idea it will catch on
