User visits and time spent on the social media platform normalize after traffic to Reddit briefly dipped last week during the blackout, according to SimilarWeb.
This doesn’t surprise me. Most people don’t have the time or desire to keep up with tech news, and they just want to feed their addiction. It’ll be interesting to see what happens 1~2 weeks after the new API rules are active, and people realize the app they use no longer works.
I never created a Reddit account, and only visited under duress, so I’m not really affected by this. So I’m just cooking up popcorn & watching the show.
