I’ve tried looking online but I’m not savvy enough to find a good answer. I haven’t been on Reddit since June 30, and am interested in seeing the number of people who have migrated. I know the Reddit user base is huge, so idk if it has been enough to hurt the site. Fuck spez.

Hard to say, because I recall reading that traffic after the protest pretty much returned back to normal levels.

Even if people were unhappy, they went back. Its a tough addiction to fight I guess?

On the other hand, the protest was mostly by the moderators. Not necessarily the users. A bunch of people didnt really even realize what was going on or why? Personally, I didnt care what the moderators were doing. A bunch of those guys were always power tripping anyway. I personally was just done with reddit.
