    Wait an article I read earlier is claiming that subreddits are business as usual. Now, this article claims the opposite?

      Could you share the link to that one? Thanks. Looks like this TechCrunch article is sourcing info from emails with advertisers partnered with Reddit, not just from public statements about visitor traffic published by Reddit themselves.

      I wonder what the measured metrics are internally. Funny that those earning metrics would’ve been more readily available had they already IPO’ed on the public market.

      From this article:

      The negative impacts on Reddit’s daily traffic and average time spent have improved, according to more recent statistics, indicating that the initial downturn was temporary.

      The decrease in traffic was during the 2 day blackout, but now things are mostly back to normal. Realistically, any sustained downturn will be more gradual as quality decreases and people turn elsewhere. We might also see a bump when 3rd party apps are shut down.
