I think it's par for the course for user traffic to normalize since the platform gets visitors just by simply existing.
But if they actually matched that against old users of the site, then it actually means something. Most of the users that left are usually power users and have used Reddit long enough to use third-party apps and can't stand the bullshit changes.
What fraction of that traffic is from bots or trolls?
CEOs are the dictators of centralized online communities, and act as such. And it kind of works, just like in real life.
Cool
I think traffic is gonna plummet after June 30th. A lot of people are still using Apollo, Sync, etc. like business as usual, but once they stop Reddit will probably take another hit.
