I respectfully disagree. A sub like AskHistorians generates tons of traffic for the site via google searches alone. It's also got 2 million subscribers that happily remain subscribed for the quality content with all the spam filtered out.
Google hits are probably the least valuable page view. They have killed far bigger subreddits for far dumber reasons. Like AMA. Is history a highly valuable advertising interest? I have no idea but I've never seen a history based advertisment.
