Many people were upset by Reddit’s announcement and it only grew with how they treated the communities who expressed concern about the 3rd party apps and tools people used to access and moderate Reddit. With the end of June, those apps are now gone, and for many looking around the site they may not see much as having changed.

Is there a way to get statistics - has there been any meaningful change to Reddit traffic? Have the number of active users changed, or the time spent on the site? Has there been a continued decrease in advertising?

Was Spez correct that this would just blow over and fade? I’m not complaining or criticizing those of us who protested and avoided the site during protests, but those who are here to read this obviously didn’t stay away. A decreasing minority of the subs which originally joined the protest are still doing so, and those which have are being picked off and removed by the admins. I’m curious if there has been any obvious success from the protests. Reddit isn’t special because of the infrastructure or the admins, it’s the moderators and users which make the site valuable - but I wonder if the communities have decided that this battle wasn’t one they were going to win and thus they returned to normal? What do you think?
