User visits and time spent on the social media platform normalize after traffic to Reddit briefly dipped last week during the blackout, according to SimilarWeb.
Edit: but also see https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/88139/Reddit-traffic-returning-normal-sort-of which explains that ad visits are still waaay down - and continue going downhill.
Oh, look another article on how Reddit is fine. Must be fine, everyone stop protesting, it doesn’t work. /s
Reddit is unprofitable with massive new expenses, no realistic plan on making a profit, apparently trying to pump for an upcoming IPO, being run by a CEO who seems fine to disrespect its lifeblood, the community, and thinks it’s a good idea to emulate Elmo… what could go wrong?
Like these sorts of things with large momentum, they don’t stop overnight but who can say the Reddit ship is on a good trajectory?
And don’t forget that the current API shit won’t really hit the consequences fan for another week.
