A significant fraction of those 52M "users" are either abandoned accounts or bots. And there are also quite a few semi-abandoned ones like mine, that are only kept alive until they're completely purged of any content Reddit might derive value from (since you can't edit or delete comments/posts in subreddits still set to private).
