Drama is half actual reddit drama, half sad 25 year old rejects trying to recreate a high school atmosphere because they were excluded from all the hot gossip and petty bullshit of their youth because they acted like how they smelled
The fact that I also just described 90% of reddit is not a coincidence
If you look at the detailed explanation at the end of the article, they say :
we ranked all of the subreddits by the number of unique commenters and then pulled out the 2,133 subreddits whose unique commenter rank was between 200 and 2,201 (there are some ties). We used this subset of subreddits to characterize all active subreddits.
So what they exactly did was indeed calculating commenter overlap, but not between subreddits : they calculated it between each subreddit and this set of 2,133 subreddits, to get a trace vector with 2,133 entries. These vectors are what they used to compare subreddits (specifically, the similarity coefficient is the cosine of the angle between the two subreddits' vectors).
Secondly, my first comment was just supposed to be a jest to the /r/Drama moderator, and I didn't expect it to be taken that seriously, since it is indeed flawed.
The first evident flaw, that you pointed, is that removing the /r/SubredditDrama vector basically removes the "drama" and "meta" components of /r/Drama, which are evidently the principal reasons people come to /r/Drama. Note that it also removes all "meta" subs (such as /r/conspiratard, etc.), since there's a galaxy of this kind of subs that are all pretty similar.
Note also that SRD tends to be leaning more left-wing, so by removing it you get pushed more to the right ; similarly, if you remove SRC, you'll note a lot of "SJW" subreddits, such as TBP, appearing.
Personnally, I wouldn't put /r/Drama in the crypto-hate category ; it just tends to be a subreddit for hardcore drama-lovers, harboring extreme users from both sides, and removing SRD tends to highlight the far-right portion of this sub.
Still, I found it funny that the result is this caricatural, and I apologize if any users of /r/Drama were offended.
'He's not paying 2 per cent, and he should be paying 2 per cent. It's Canada. They have money. And they should be paying 2 per cent. So I called him out on that, and I'm sure he wasn't happy about that, but that's the way it is. Look, I'm representing the U.S. And he should be paying more than he's paying. And he understands it. So I can imagine he's not that happy. But that's the way it is,'
I'm in political exile in Portugal, and the madlads came up with a clever way to meet the 2% NATO commitment - they started charging the military rent, and lo and behold, military expenditures doubled. Brings a smug grin to my face tbh.

1 arandomloser21 2019-12-04
It's either mg87 or Matsue that have serious lefty cope but at least theres enough righty cope in there to achieve true centrism.
