Kinda crazy how on reddit the poe subreddit has 10 times the concurrent reader count of d3's subreddit (6k and 600) but on gaf it seems 50/50 on poe/d3. My personnal feeling too is that most arpg players migrated from d3 to poe over the years.
It's more like people who like ARPG's play ARPG's. PoE probably has more right now since a huge patch just launched. That dwindles over time. Whenever a new Season starts D3 is usually bumping as well, but since it's been a bit and they haven't added a ton of new content per say, it's kinda quiet on the D3 front. People who like ARPG's generally at least give them all a shot. I like Diablo 3 a bit more than PoE, but I'm not actively playing either. I also liked Torchlight, Grim Dawn, Titan Quest, Diablo 2, and am looking forward to the Warhammer 40K ARPG that's in Early Access.
You can prefer a game without saying the other is garbage. Diablo 3 does a lot of things incredibly well. Path of Exile does a lot of things incredibly well. They both have severe shortcomings. Play em both, or play neither.
