But the article is 3 days old. It seems many did not expect that much unity from subreddits going dark. 2.5 billion affected subscribers is quite something!
I’m still in hopes they change their mind in light of recent events. Don’t think they will though.
Probably 95% of that is overlapping since one person being subbed to 20 participating subs is counted 20 times, and since some default and massive subs are participating there must be a ton of overlap.
I find this post at a moment when the show has already started (as can be seen on https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/ and https://reddark.untone.uk/ )

2.5 billion affected *subscriptions
Many are overlapping people’s subscriptions of course.

Doesn’t matter.
Each user doesn’t visit reddit once.
I will be subscribed to more than one subreddit which means I will visit all of my subbed subs and thus reddit will lose all of these interactions.
