We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/content_marketing yet. Subscriber count alone is a poor guide to whether a community is active, so treat this one as unverified until the next sample lands.
When was r/content_marketing created?
r/content_marketing was founded in December 2013 and is a public — anyone can post community. Age matters: an older community with steady growth has survived Reddit's moderation churn; a young one with a spike may not.
