/r/videos used to be a default and supposedly has millions of subscribers, but when I was still on reddit you'd regularly see content with 100 upvotes reach the top of the subreddit and maybe 10 comments. Often this was on bot reposts.

Their numbers should be take with a huge grain of salt.

And the real strength of Reddit isn't the huge subreddits anyway, they are mostly just trash. It's all the niche communities, most of them haven't moved away, or if they have, they moved to Discord.
