r/baldNSFW

Lose your hair, not your head.. Welcome to r/bald! Our philosophy is simple: embrace bald and strive to make the world a more bald-friendly place. We’re often sold the idea that bald is bad. That’s bullshit. As we grow and mature everyone experiences the aging process a little differently, for most of us here, that includes varying degrees of hair-loss. It is natural. And it is nothing to be ashamed of - here we’ll support each other and learn to take pride in our baldness. Founded 2011 · 586.8K members

599.1K members. The best post we have captured here reached 133K upvotes, which works out to 222 per 1,000 members.

Every figure here is what ViralHunt has captured from r/bald, not everything the community has ever posted. We deliberately do not publish an average score: our sample is weighted toward a community's best posts, so an average would be flattering and wrong. Peak per 1,000 members is computed the same way for every community listed. See how we measure.
