Are the numbers false? I saw a previous measure on an article that was around 3% as well.
Obviously we don’t know the traffic chance since July 1st but the announcement to kill API was made in May. Presumably there would have been an impact because of the changes that contributed to the 3%.
Good points. I’m curious to see how the situation develops going forward. Social media websites are quite chaotic at the moment. Reddit is playing with fire, just like Elon with Twitter
The apps didn’t shut down until June 30 or July 1.
Second, 99% of Reddit users don’t post content, and the power users were pretty upset and many left. Reddit May keep chugging along for a bit but content will get stale. It won’t turn into 9gag overnight but over a few weeks you’ll see a change.
I don’t know that they’re false, but they’re misleading. Not only was it traffic for June, but the thing Spez will care about is advertising dollars - and as others have said, the more communities are flagged NSFW, the fewer ad spaces can be sold.
