During the Reddit Blackout i made a graph showing the posts and comments/day (Link).
Some days ago i was asked to make an Update so here it is.
Source Data is from here and contains the same Data as some may know from here. Only difference is that the post and comment count is summed over the day.
EDIT:
The Original Post Data contained inconsistent Data points on each day (see here).
This is the corrected Chart, which uses the difference in Post IDs between the days to calculate the daily number (adjusted to s between the api calls):
I also adjusted the values to 10^6 and adjusted the y-axis ranges, I hope this makes it easier on the eyes.
For people complaining on the mixed chart: Double column looks bad with 2Y-Axis, and double lines looks too empty. 2Y-Axis are necessary cause of the difference in scaling of the posts and comments data, only other option would be an axis break.
You must log in or register to comment.
Probably worth considering that the (admittedly subjective and difficult to measure) quality of those posts and comments has likely taken a big dive.
A better metric to check is the average amount of time spent by users on the website.
yeah some sites already do that but they don’t release the information without paying
https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/28/reddit-protest-user-engagements-site-activity-impact/The site they used for their data is https://www.similarweb.com/
I just started these charts in the beginning since i was interested in the number per day instead of the number per minute that is reported in the original source.
Though my data seems to also be incomplete cause of missing data points.

That’s completely fair. I have looked into similarweb before, their subscription rate is pretty steep.
