On the day before the Reddit blackout began on June 12th, Similarweb logged more than 57 million daily visits to the platform.

  • Keep in mind too that is traffic. Social sites like 90% of the users are drive by, like 10% are significant contributors, and 1% are the big contributors. Contribution is not high traffic but it is what makes the site go. You kind of know this be cause they said the average visit to Reddit is like 7 minutes. These are not contributors.

    So reddit may have 430 million active users, but 43 million contributors, and 4.3 million big contributors. They just pissed of the 4.3 million that contribute the majority of the content. Maybe some of the 43 million.

    On the other hand presumably Reddit revenue is all about views. So from their view end, that has not changed much.
